Preview

Both sides have been impressive this season, and one can expect a nail-biting encounter in the upcoming clash. With four wins in six games, 1.Kieler HTC are second in the team standings and would like to enhance their tally even further. However, they narrowly lost their last match against MTV Stallions by five wickets and would be determined to bounce back.

On the other hand, SG Hameln are holding the third place in the team standings with three victories in five outings. They have ticked most of their boxes, but defeating the in-form 1.Kieler HTC would take some beating. Hence, they must unleash their A-game. Their last meeting resulted in a seven-run win over Moorburger TSV.

Captaincy Picks

Chaitanya Pagadapoola

1.Kieler HTC’s Chaitanya Pagadapoola has been scoring runs consistently and would back himself to pile another significant score. In fact, the right-handed batsman is the highest run-scorer of this season, with 145 runs in six games. Moreover, he has accumulated these many runs at a staggering strike rate of 174.69. Hence, 1.Kieler HTC would be counting on him once again.

Akila Rajapakshe

Another player who’s expected to shine in this game is SG Hameln’s Akila Rajapakshe. The left-handed batsman doesn’t tend to throw his wicket easily and has collected runs consistently in the middle-order. His strike rate of 163.79 is also nothing short of impressive.
