Bilal Khan, right-arm medium fast bowler, has good control over the ball, was leading wicket taker for his side last year in the Malta summer league.
Atta Rabi, talented right-handed batsman, was top run scorer for Swieqi United in the Malta summer league last year.
Super Kings have dominated Maltese cricket scene recently finishing first and second in the domestic league in the last two seasons. SKI will start favourites in the battle of the debutants. That said, Swieqi United have made a few new signings and will be looking to spring a surprise.
