Tejas Morbagal, an excellent top order batsman and a handy off-spinner, and a great team man. Instrumental in Koln’s first win and is heading the wicket taking charts this tournament scalping 11 wickets with a best return of 4-14, has also racked up 84 runs with the bat.
Asmdin Zadran, exceptional all rounder who can win games with either of his two primary skills. Looked in good form with the ball picking up three wickets in two games on Tuesday.

Match Prediction: Koln CC (KCC) to win with plenty to spare.
