HKI United Team News & Playing 11
Team News
HKI do not have any injury issues to deal with at the moment. All their players are fully fit and ready to take on CK in this final league fixture.
Key Players
Misbah-ul-Haq has had an incredible first two games at the Hong Kong T20 Blitz 2017. The Pakistani veteran has scores of 82 and 84 in the respective games and is yet to be dismissed this season. The HKI skipper blasted six consecutive sixes in six balls against Hung Hom Jaguars and he has become a key figure in the team's batting lineup. Saeed Ajmal has impressed the most with his offspin. He took two wickets in the first game and is the team's most economical bowler so far.
Recent Form
Hong Kong Island United have played two league matches so far. They had a good start to the season winning their opening game against Hung Hom Jaguars by 33 runs before going down to Galaxy Gladiators Lantau by eight wickets in their second game. HKI are currently third on the points table with two points.

City Kaitak Team News & Playing 11
Team News
There are no records of any injured or suspended players in the team. City Kaitak are unlikely to make changes to their combination for this upcoming match.
Key Players
Opener Kyle Coetzer has scored 114 runs from his two innings so far which makes him the key batsman at the top of the order. Chris Jordan too had a great first game against Kowloon Cantons where he notched up an unbeaten 75 to power City Kaitak to 199 in the first innings. The allrounder has also picked up four wickets already including a three-wicket haul in the last game against Galaxy Gladiators Lantau. So he will pose a big threat with both the bat and the ball.
Recent Form
City Kaitak have two points in the bag and are leading the points table with one win and one loss from their first two matches. After losing their opening fixture against Kowloon Cantons by eight wickets, CK bounced back into the competition with a handsome six-wicket win over Galaxy Gladiators Lantau.

HKI United vs City Kaitak Head to Head
Hong Kong Island United and City Kaitak have never faced each other before in the Hong Kong T20 Blitz. The season's 10th match on Sunday is the first time that these two teams will be going head-to-head in the tournament.
HKI United vs City Kaitak Prediction
Both the teams will look to win this match and boost their chances of making it to the finals of the Hong Kong T20 Blitz 2017. Both have given strong performances with the bat so far but have not been that good with the ball.
Hong Kong Island United, who played the inaugural edition under the name of Island Warriors, are a more experienced unit than City Kaitak who are playing their first season. Also, they have the advantage of being led by a vastly experienced and successful skipper Misbah-ul-Haq who seems to be in menacing form at the moment. City Kaitak are the dark horses of this season and though they do appear to be competitive enough, we predict Hong Kong Island United to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back HKI to beat CK in the 10th match of Hong Kong T20 Blitz 2017.
