Gohar Manan
Centuries in a T10 game is a rarity. However, Gohar Manan achieved the feat in ACCB’s first clash against Bucharest Gladiators. The dashing opener went after the bowlers from the word go and scored runs all over the park. In total, he amassed 112 off mere 37 balls as ACCB posted a gigantic total of 166 while batting first.
Patras Masih
All-rounder Patras Masih will be the man to watch out for from the Bucharest Gladiators camp. Despite losing wickets regularly from the other end, the batter made a fighting 15-balls 29 in his first assignment this season. Not to forget, Masih can also contribute with the ball in hand.
