Preview:
The American University of Malta will be up against Msida Warriors CC in the 16th match of the ECS Malta T10 on Monday. American University of Malta have lost 3 of their matches, while one game was washed out due to rain. They currently are placed at the 5th position in the table with one point. They are coming into this match on the back of a nail-biting finishing match where they lost to Southern Crusaders by 6 wickets. Apart from Zoheb Malek, none of the other batters have made a mark and it’s one of the main reasons for their poor form in the ongoing competition.
On the other hand, with 2 wins, one loss, and a no result, Msida Warriors are at 4th spot in the standings with 5 points. They will be boosted by the exceptional performances in their last 2 previous matches as they won against Southern Crusaders by 19 runs and 11 runs. Much of the credit should go to their bowlers for containing runs and picking up wickets at regular intervals. Skipper Rahul Nair is leading from the front with his all-round heroics. It will be an important match as a win is essential for both teams.
