SC EUROPA Key Players:
Bilal Shinwari, valuable all-rounder, has been mighty impressive and is a candidate for MVP, has mustered 121 runs from five innings top scoring for SCE and has picked up a wicket as well, winning two man of the match awards.
Hikman Shinwari comes into the side for the first time this season, the all-rounder scored 77 runs in five knocks at ECS Kummerfeld 2020, also leading the wicket taking charts with six scalps, typical for SCE all-time leading wicket taker.
Dawood Aruyubi is a very promising youngster, when on song can take the match away from any opposition, also a very good spinner who is normally economical. Has racked up 90 runs so far and has picked up two wickets.
Israfeel Aryubi, leader of the SCE bowling attack, can trouble batsmen with his pace and swing, smacked 119 runs from six innings, also picked up six wickets, adjudged man of the match for his all-round showing in the second game on Saturday.
SC Europa have enjoyed a mixed tournament so far with four wins and four losses, but are a decent all-round outfit. With their star all-rounder Israfeel back in the side, SCE will fancy their chances against a potentially rusty 1.Kieler HTC. However, the hosts will be confident going into this match having finished second in Group A. Both these teams are evenly matched and this game could go either way.
Match Prediction: SC Europa (SCE) to narrowly edge past the hosts.
