PRAGUE SPARTANS VANGUARDS Key Players:
Kranthi Venkataswamy, decent top order batsman, has failed to get going in previous editions but would love to make his mark this time around.
Neeraj Tyagi, captain, right arm fast bowler, quick and accurate with his line and length, top wicket taker at ECN Czech Super Series Week 2 with six scalps from four games at an economy rate of just 3.62!
Satyajit Sengupta, top all-rounder, hasn’t fired with the bat but has been impressive with the ball scalping seven wickets from eight games on the European Cricket platform.
United are yet to win a game on the grand European Cricket stage and will be desperate to start off their campaign on a winning note, but UCC have their task cut out against a strong looking PSV side.
