Balkh Legends Team News & Playing 11
Balkh Legends Team News
Balkh Legends' main overseas signing, Chris Gayle, is not available due to his Super50 Cup commitments, while they also saw Mohammad Irfan, Kamran Akmal and Mohammad Nawaz drop out of their original squad selection. Ravi Bopara was expensive with the ball last time out but made amends with the bat and there are unlikely to be any rash changes for the second game against Kandahar Knights.
Balkh Legends Key Players
While he failed to live up to his big-hitting best in the opening match, Colin Munro's explosive T20i batting is well known. He hit six 50s in 13 innings in the Caribbean Premier League, leading Trinbago Knight Riders to victory with a total of 567 runs and average of 51.54 for the tournament.
Ryan ten Doeschate was the star man with the bat against Kabul Zwanan, hitting four sixes in his 46-ball 78* - the Dutchman passing 50 for the 26th time in his T20 career.
Captain Mohammad Nabi is one of the stand-out Afghan players in the competition, meanwhile - and he proved as much by taking 2-20 from his four overs in the win against Kabul.
Ben Laughlin will lead the seam attack, meanwhile, looking to improve on his expensive three overs last time out and instead look more like the man who holds the record for most Big Bash League wickets.
Balkh Legends Predicted Playing 11
Colin Munro, Usman Ghani, Ryan ten Doeschate, Ravi Bopara, Darwish Rasooli, Mohammad Nabi, Ikram Ali Khil, Gulbadin Naib, Mirwais Ashraf, Ben Laughlin, Aftab Alam
Kandahar Kings Team News & Playing 11
Kandahar Knights Team News
Kandahar Knights may tweak their batting order after struggling for runs against Nangarhar Leopards, though the personnel is likely to stay the same as Paul Stirling and Brendon McCullum are capable of big runs at the top of the order on their day. Kevin O'Brien, while known as a finisher, may bat higher up the order.
Kandahar Knights Key Players
Brendon McCullum linked up with the Kandahar Knights after winning the Caribbean Premier League with Trinbago Knight Riders. New Zealand's T20 icon is a modern-day legend thanks to his exploits in the shortest format of the game.
Kevin O'Brien boasts the explosive batting skills too, while compatriot Paul Stirling was one of the leading run scorers in the English t20 Blast with 498 runs, including one century and four 50s.
None of their overseas batting stars shone in their opening game, however, asking too much of the bowlers. Amir Hamza and Waqar Salamkheil both bowled economically and picked up a wicket apiece, however.
Kandahar Kings Predicted Playing 11
Paul Stirling, Brendon McCullum, Najibullah Zadran, Asghar Afghan, Karim Janat, Kevin O’Brien, Karim Sadiq, Sayed Shirzad, Waqar Salamkheil, Amir Hamza, Tymal Mills
🏆 Balkh Legends vs Kandahar Kings Prediction
Even without Chris Gayle, Balkh Legends' batsmen came to the fore against Kabul Zwanan. If they can restrict the Knights just like Nangarhar did in their opening game, they can go on to win.
Final Verdict: Back Balkh Legends to beat Kandahar Knights
