Top Picks
Waqas Akhtar surprised everyone with his bowling performance against Cyprus Moufflons as he picked up four wickets in that game. Since he bats in the top-order, he could be a handy pick for this contest. Kulwinder Singh had blown away the Limassol Gladiators CC bowling attack earlier in the league. Batting at number four, he slammed six fours and nine sixes in his 31-ball 87*. He will be the batsman to look out for.
Tejwinder Singh had played an excellent knock of 71 runs against Nicosia Tigers CC earlier in their first meeting and could prove to be extremely dangerous once he gets going. If one considers the H2H record of the players, Tejwinder is the best option for captaincy.
Anowar Hossain had bowled a brilliant spell of 2/9 in the previous game against Cyprus Moufflons CC. He is the only player from Nicosia Tigers CC worth considering for captaincy.
