Pratheeparaj Varothayan opened the innings in the previous game and scored an unbeaten 37 off 12 deliveries with a four and five sixes. Yasotharan Thirnavukarasu opened the innings in both the matches scoring a total of 55 runs. Mohamed Shahid was the one who walked out to bat first in the opening game and he also notched 30 runs off just 15 deliveries.

Olten CC bowlers also did their job in two games with Ali Usman leading the way for them. He took three wickets and also scored 10 runs batting at four in the first match. Shathees Thanasegaram accounted for a couple in the last match while he had no wickets to show in the first outing. Ali Nayyer definitely bowls two overs and he conceded only 20 runs in four overs picking two wickets in two matches.

Malyar Stanikzai bats at three and also bowls his two overs. He has so far scored six runs and picked up a wicket. Gowreesan Navaretnarasa is also a decent bowler with two wickets to his name.

For the Power CC, Baljinder Singh is one of the best cricketers. He scored 78 runs in the last T20 game on June 14 opening the innings and also picked up a wicket. Osama Mahmood is also likely to open the innings as he has scored 147 runs in three innings apart from picking five wickets. He is also a superb all-rounder. Safiatullah Sajid is also a good enough player having scored 65 runs this season in two matches and has accounted for two scalps too.

With the ball, Arshad Butt is decent with three wickets to his name. But he tends to be expensive too. Afzaal Sikander has two wickets to his name at the international level but hasn’t taken a wicket this season for his club. However, he returned with the figures of 0/17 in his three overs in the June 14 T20 game. Asad Mahmood is also a decent all-rounder having scored 86 runs and picked 8 wickets in three matches.
