Gaurav Chopra, all-rounder, second highest wicket taker for BEL picking up SEVEN wickets with a best return of 3-6. He has also scored 86 runs in two innings including a fighting 61* off 26 balls vs ZAS in the first qualifier.
Alexander Dizija, the top order batter has looked solid, top scoring in the tournament with 328 runs in eight innings at an average of 82 including two fifty plus scores.
Michael Dorgan, slow left arm orthodox, has been impressive leading the wickets column for BEL with EIGHT wickets with a best return of 3-20.
Ljubljana had a complete performance against SIB in the eliminator and will be confident going into this game. Belgrade gave away too many runs which cost them the game vs ZAS in the first qualifier. BEL will look for a better showing against LJU.
