Tariq Zuwak, the opener likes to take on the new ball bowlers maximising the field restrictions. Is a hard hitter of the ball and is equally good with ball in hand deceiving batsmen with his off pace deliveries.
Abdul Rashid Khan, the captain bats at number three bringing stability to the HUD batting lineup. Likes playing the cover drive and pull shot.
Newcomers Huddinge were impressive on debut on Saturday beating a strong Marsta side after an opening defeat to DIF. HUD will aim to keep up this momentum by beating previous winners Nacka who struggled alarmingly in their two appearances on Saturday.
