City Kaitak Team News & Playing 11
Team News
This year’s newest franchise City Kaitak bounced back from their opening-day defeat to Kowloon Cantons to beat Galaxy Gladiators Lantau on matchday two. Niaz Ali sat out of that win, having bowled just three balls in the opening match, but with the batsmen finding form City Kaitak may gamble on the extra bowler – meaning a return for Niaz Ali at Ankur Vasishta’s expense.
Key Players
England all-rounder Chris Jordan has been City Kaitak’s star man so far, arriving in Hong Kong fresh from winning the Pakistan Super League with Peshawar Zalmi. Jordan hit an unbeaten 75 from 37 balls in the opening game, and then starred with the ball against Galaxy Gladiators as he picked up 3-25 from his four overs. Also impressing with the bat has been Scotland international Kyle Coetzer, scoring 114 runs across the opening two games, including 87 on matchday one. Tillakaratne Dilshan was the team’s marquee signing, meanwhile, and the 40-year-old hit 38 from 29 balls in their most recent match, having taken 1-26 from three overs with the ball.
Recent Form
City Kaitak were new to the Hong Kong Twenty20 Blitz this season and, despite losing their opening game against Kowloon Cantons, bounced back to beat Galaxy Gladiators Lantau on day two. The fourth matchday marks their return to action, having been the only team without a fixture on matchday three.

Hung Hom Jaguars Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Hung Hom JD Jaguars have won two of their opening three matches to top the points table with four points. They have chosen the same 11 players in all three matches so far.
Key Players
West Indies’ World Cup winning captain Darren Sammy hit an unbeaten half century on matchday one, but has failed to follow that up in the two games since. Instead it has been uncapped West Indian Jonathan Foo impressing with the bat – he scored 77 against HKI United before hitting a run-a-ball 34 against Kowloon Cantons. Johan Botha was the star man in the latter match, however, smashing 65 from 37 balls with the bat, before opening the bowling and claiming figures of 1-17 from his four overs – including a maiden.
Recent Form
Hung Hom Jaguars won the opening game of the Hong Kong Blitz for the second season running, this time without the need for a super-over (as was the case in 2016). They were unable to kick on from that win, losing by 33 runs against HKI United, but bounced back to beat Kowloon Cantons by 18 runs.
