City Kaitak Team News & Playing 11
There were no major contributions from any of their top-order batsmen against the Hung Hom Jaguars. The team will look to improve on that against the HKI United and will expect good knocks from Anshuman Rath and Ravi Bopara. Aizaz Khan who hit a fifty will be the key man in the middle order. Sohail Tanvir and Samuel Badree both picked up a wicket each and did not concede too many runs. City Kaitak will back these two for another fine bowling performance here.

HKI United Team News & Playing 11
This year, the team will bank on the likes of Luke Ronchi, Kamran Akmal and Ryan Ten Doeschate to deliver the goods with the bat. Ronchi has been doing well in T20 cricket and the onus will be on him to take HKI United off to a solid start. Mohammad Irfan, David Wiese and skipper Tanwir Afzaal are the vital cogs in this bowling line-up. Wiese is the more likely candidate to provide the early breakthroughs for his team.

City Kaitak vs HKI United Prediction
When these two teams met last season, City Kaitak cantered to a comfortable fifty-run victory which should give them a lot of confidence heading into this game. However, their big defeat at the hands of Hung Hom Jaguars in the opening game of this year's tournament is going to take away much from that confidence. Hong Kong Island United appear slightly more well-balanced as a side which is why we feel they could end up winning this match.
Back Hong Kong Island United to beat City Kaitak at 1.20 on 1xbet, 1.66 on Bet365 and 1.65 on Unibet.
