Projected Top Four: Irfan Ahmed, Satya Srinivas, Tejas Morbagal, Dhruv Patel

Projected Opening Bowlers: Asmdin Zadran, Ameya Deshpande

Spin Options: Sandheep Ravishankar, Tejas Morbagal, Dhruv Patel

KÖLN CC Key Players:

Irfan Ahmed, explosive opening batsman with 20 years of German cricket experience, age is just a number for him, top scorer for KCC racking up 178 runs from eight innings at a SR of 180, has scored more than 75 percent of his runs in boundaries.

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 12 wickets with a best return of 4-14, has also racked up 106 runs with the bat.

Asmdin Zadran, exceptional all rounder who can win games with either of his two primary skills, has played a couple of good cameos with the bat and has picked up seven wickets in five matches. Returned man of the match performance in the quarter-final for his all-round performance.

Sandheep Ravishankar, left arm orthodox bowler and a stylish batsman, has picked up 10 wickets with a best return of 3-8.

With eight wins in nine games so far, MSC Frankfurt will be strong favourites but after a week off, looked more than a bit rusty against the Wolves early on Friday. Koln CC fought back well to beat VG after a sluggish start, so it will be interesting to watch who comes out victorious in this second semi-final.

Match Prediction: MSC Frankfurt (MSF) to move into the final thanks to their batting firepower deep down the order.
