KUTCHI TIGERS CC: FIRST GAME OF SEASON
Kutchi Tigers CC had an amazing run to the end of the 2017 season, beating all opposition in the second round with a strong contingent of pros. Ronak Patel, Dinash Nakrani and Shantilal Raghvani to mention but 3 of a strong contingent of were unbeatable on all fronts, fielding, bowling or batting.
In their last meeting at the Entebbe Oval in the second round of the 2017 season, Kutchi Tigers proved too strong leaving Aziz Damani CC with a tricky tie against Challengers CC to win the league. Damani pulled it off and won their maiden league title but will be looking to avenge their loss at the same venue.
Kutchi Tigers always have a slow start to the season and pick up in the second round; the responsibility will however be for Bharat Ghodedra, explosive left hander Nanji Pindoria and Ankit Patel to find some competitive totals for the side.
Aziz Damani CC were very thorough in beating the newly promoted Strikers CC with Daud Rajwani scoring a century, there are still questions asked about the form of Saud Islam, Brian Masaba (Run out) and Kenneth Waiswa (Run out); they need to find some runs for the side to get their season going.
Men to Watch;
Saud Islam; The right hand top order batsman scores quick and is very destructive when he gets going, Kutchi Tigers will be looking to pick him early.
Nanji Pindoria; Always sets the momentum for Kutchi Tigers with his attacking batting style and chips in with some effective left arm spin.
Ankit Patel (Kutchi Tigers CC); Ankit is enjoying a good run of form through the second round of the Jazz Safari 2017 league and the T20 Cup; Kutchi Tigers will be hoping the off season has not diminished his timing and scoring.
Kenneth Waiswa; Kenneth will be dangerous with both bat and ball. Having spent the better part of 2018 on national team duty and training, he will have an impact on the match in both or either department.
