PRAGUE SPARTANS MOBILIZERS Key Players:
Sagor Md Sahadat Hossain, top scorer for PSM at ECN Czech Super Series week 3 racking up 50 runs from four matches, also picking up two wickets with his deceptive spin bowling. Yet to fire this series, needs to pick up form quickly if PSM are to avoid the wooden spoon.
Ashok Kumar Reddy, played for United at ECS Prague 2020 where he impressed with his bowling picking up four wickets in five matches. Conceded too many runs but has picked up three wickets this season.
Vaibhav Naukudkar, looked good in patches, top scorer for PSM with 88 runs in four games, needs to convert his starts into big scores.
Mobilizers need a win to nail down a place in the last eight, but have a tough task against a strong Vinohrady side.
