BELGIUM (BEL)

Captain: Sheikh Sheraz

Wicketkeeper: Ali Raza

Projected Top Order: Aziz Mohammad, Muneeb Muhammad, Faisal MehmoodSheikh Sheraz, Saber Zakhil

Projected Opening Bowlers: Shagharai SefatAdnan RazzaqKhalid Ahmadi

Spin Options: SheikhSherazMurid Ekrami

Coach: Abhijit Harikrishna Khan

 

BELGIUM Key Players:

Saber Zakhil, fearsome hitter, currently lies fourth in the world for sixes hit this year in T20i with 19 in seven matches. Highest scorer for BEL plundering 273 runs at a SR of 237 and deservedly bagged three player of the match awards. He can also chip in with crucial wickets in the middle overs and has picked up SEVEN wickets so far.

Aziz Mohammad, destructive right handed batter who has impressed in ECS tournaments in Spain last season and most recently in the Netherlands. Mustered 88 runs in six games at a sprightly SR of 282 in the opening week before being injured. The opener blasted 96 runs in two games on Monday taking his tally to 184 runs in eight games.

Ali Razawicket keeper batter, very good behind the stumps and equally better in-front of it. Third highest scorer for BEL racking up 178 runs in 11 games including a 21-ball 57 vs Sweden in first week.

SheikhSheraz, captain who leads by example with bat and ball. Played a few crucial knocks in the opening week leading his side to victories mustering a total of 122 runs in the process.

Omid Rahimifearsome right handed batter, one of the best finishers in the tournament, has plundered 155 runs at a strike rate of over 246. Has scored over 86% of his runs in boundaries.

Adnan Razzaq, right arm pacer who has decent pace and is consistent with the ball. Highest wicket taker for his side scalping 12 wickets.

 

Belgium really caught the eye on Monday with some brutal hitting. BEL will find the England bowling a trifle more menacing, while the England batters can be equally savage on any loose bowling. England are favourites, but Belgium could run them close.

 

Match Prediction: England XI (ENG XI) to win an entertaining affair.
