Balkh Legends

The only way for them to recover from last night’s disaster would be by winning this game handsomely. They will have to rethink their strategy. Gayle is not performing which would be a concern for them as he can win any match single-handedly. But he has been out of touch for quite some time now. Munro and Nabi are the only two constants in the team which can be alarming some time. Others will have to perform if they want the team to win. The other teams have started to figure out this shortcoming, and they will want to use it to their advantage. They don’t have that kind of bench strength that they can experiment with. Bopara and Doeschate will have to take up charge along with Nabi as all-rounders for
the team.

Ben Cutting has been the one person army performing with bat and ball. If he doesn’t perform, then the team loses. You cannot rely on only one player in every match. Russell is back in the team which will be a sigh of relief as he is a perfect fit for these games. He is a game changer for any team. Anton Devcich did play a brilliant knock in the last game but all in vain. This would have given him some confidence. He needs to continue to perform on the top to provide Cutting and Russell time to build the innings. McClenaghan and Mujeeb will have to take charge of bowling as well.
