PREVIEW: Match 2 - Pinatar Pirates vs Intellectuals - Dream11 European Cricket Series Alicante

Pinatar will possess an advantage of having already featured in the opening match of the Dream11 European Cricket Series.

With knowledge of the pitch and ground conditions, watch out for the form players for Pinatar from the first game, especially Kuldeep Lal and Sukhpal Singh.

Furthermore, these two sides met in friendly warm-ups last week with Pinatar coming out on top in both matches. In a 30 over match, Jassie Singh top scored with a knock of 84, (7x6 5x4) ably supported by Vikash Singh with another half century.

Pinatar should be stronger than the Intellectuals who were playing second division cricket in Spain last season and have enjoyed no genuine exposure to this high-octane T10 format.

That said, the Intellectuals will be fresher for their opening outing and watch out for Ismail Baig, a 25-year-old all-rounder with a top score of 106 last season and can bowl right arm fast as well. Usman Mirza also bowled well for the Intellectuals in last weekend’s tune-ups.
