Pitch Report: 

The Oman wicket offers a lot of assistance to the bowlers. Be it pacers or spinners. However, the batters can also go on to play impactful knocks once they get set. It also needs to be noted that the 100-run mark has only been breached twice in this competition so far with the Ruwi Rangers being one of them and Amerat Royals posting a mammoth 139/3 against Azaiba XI.

Out of the six matches that have been played so far, four of them have been won by the teams batting first. Despite all this, taking the difficulty of setting a target into consideration, the captain winning the toss will look to bowl first.

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter: Khalid Kalil

Khalid Kalil’s quickfire half-century made a huge difference in the Ruwi Rangers’ last game against Bousher Busters. He scored 51 runs off just 26 deliveries at an impressive strike rate of 196 and was involved in a 90-run stand with opener Sanuth Ibrahim, who remained unbeaten on 44 runs from 29 balls as the Rangers posted a score in excess of 100 which also turned out to be a match-winning one. Kalil will once again be expected to come out all guns blazing as his side is eyeing a second straight win.

Probable best bowler: Sanuth Ibrahim

Sanuth Ibrahim’s splendid bowling spell completely applied the brakes on the Bousher Busters’ stiff run chase of 108 as he rattled their batting lineup with three wickets to his name. Ibrahim finished his spell with figures of 3/12 from his two overs at an economy rate of six. The onus will once again be on him to deliver with the ball especially early on as he can turn the game around with quick wickets and the Busters batters would be hoping to see off his two-over spell on a cautious note.
