Preview

Atlas UTC Knights have been on a roll this season, and their position in the Group A points table narrate the entire story. With five victories in six outings, the Knights are holding the second position, and a win in these fixtures might see them toppling defending champions Marsa at the top.

On the other hand, Royal Strikers are on a terrible run of form. With six defeats in as many games, the Strikers are last in the team standings and are already out of the quarter-final race. Hence, pride is all they can play for, and it would be interesting to see how they perform in this game, now that they will be able to play with freedom.

Captaincy Picks for STR vs ATL

Samuel Stanislaus

The Atlas UTC Knights dasher has been pretty impressive this season and would like to shine against Strikers as well. Samuel Stanislaus can attack the bowlers from the outset, and piercing his defence won’t be easy either. So far, the swashbuckling opener has scored 80 runs in the tournament at a strike rate of over 140.

Bose Paul

Stanislaus’ teammate Bose Paul is another player who can shine in this contest. The pacer has led Atlas UTC Knights’ bowling attack this season and did a commendable job. Paul has so far scalped six wickets in as many games at an impressive economy rate of 7.81.
