Preview:

The Boost Defenders are one of the two teams that haven’t had a great time thus far in the tournament. After starting the tournament off on a positive note with a 57-run win, they slowly fell apart. They conceded an easy win to the Band-e-Amir Dragons in their second game while they lost their third by a small margin of five runs.

They will be taking on the Mis Ainak Knights on Friday and will be hoping for a turnaround of fortunes. The Knights won two out of the three games they have played so far and will look to keep up the good work. They have the winning momentum on their side having defeated the Speen Ghar Tigers by a huge margin of 58 runs in their last match.
