CEN vs SOU Prediction, 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update – National T20 Cup 2020, Match 24

Match Details:

The 24th match of the National T20 Cup will be played between Central Punjab and Southern Punjab at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi.

The match is scheduled to start at 7: 30 PM local time (8:00 PM IST) and will be streamed on the Pakistan Cricket Youtube channel.

Preview:

In any tournament, it is indeed very true that how a team finishes the race is far more important than how it starts the race. Central Punjab started their race in the National T20 Cup 2020 on a bad note, but just when it matters the most, things are coming together for them.

They registered a big win in their last game, which has not only put themselves in the top 4 but has also helped their net run rate a great deal. Their next opponents are Southern Punjab, a team for whom the race is already over. With just 1 win from 7 games and an extremely poor net run rate, their chances of qualifying for semi-finals are as good as over.
