Match Details

Gozo and Overseas will be up against each other in the Match 35 and 36 of the ESC T10 Malta 2021. These two matches will take place at the Marsa Sports Complex on Wednesday (June 23).

While the first match will start at 4:30 PM IST, the second match will commence at 7:00 PM IST. Both games will be streamed live on the Fancode app.

Preview

Overseas have blown hot and cold this season, having won two and lost as many of their four games so far. They started the season impressively by defeating a strong Mater Dei side in their first two fixtures. However, they lost the plot against current Group B table toppers and suffered two humiliating defeats. Hence, they would be determined to bounce back in this fixture.

On the other hand, the condition is even worse for Gozo as they lost five of their six games and are reeling at the rock bottom of the standings. Performing well as a unit has undoubtedly been a problem for Gozo, and they will take the field with the tag of the underdogs. However, momentum rides on a rollercoaster in T10 cricket, and Gozo must back themselves to bounce back.

Captaincy Picks for GOZ vs OVE

Milton Devasia

Although nothing much has gone Gozo’s way this season, Milton Devasia had a couple of good outings. The batsman likes to go after the bowlers from the outset, and his wide range of shots can challenge the bowlers. He’ll certainly have to put up a significant performance in order to take his side over the line.

Sandeep Sasikumar

Another player who can shine in this contest is Sandeep Sasikumar. The pacer can contain the run flow, and his happy knack of taking wickets makes him a captain’s delight. So far, Sasikumar has scalped six wickets in as many games at an impressive economy rate of 8.03.
