FORGE (FOR)

Captain: Nasir Mommandi

Wicketkeeper: Issa Muhammad

Projected Top Order: Shabbir Arslan, Amjad Amboo, Ali Ashgar, Kabir Ali

Likely Opening Bowlers: Ali Asghar, Umair Javid

Spin Option(s): Nasir Mommandi, Yaqub Ahmadzi

 

FORGE Key Players:

Asghar Ali, talented all-rounder, can bowl quick but very accurate in his line and length. Record wicket taker since 2019. Most economical bowler on Tuesday conceding just 3.5 runs per over. He returned figures of 2-9 vs DEK in the second game.

Sajid Mehar, can apparently bat both right and left hand and bowl at decent pace. A very special young talent, can bat anywhere in the order.

Nasir Mommandi, top order batter and bowls leg spin-googly variations. Scored a fighting 28 off 22 balls in the second game vs DEK.

Umair Javid, the hard hitting all-rounder scored an unbeaten 34 off 18 to bag player of the match award in his debut ECS game.

 

Forge would be disappointed with the loss against DEK in the final match on Tuesday. With only 64 runs to win, FOR batting faltered losing the game by seven runs. FOR are a good bowling side but will need to improve their batting to go all the way. Athens Cricket Academy started off poorly losing both their matches to leaders GEK and will be looking to turn things around on Wednesday.

 

Match Prediction: Forge and ACA to rack up a win a piece.
