Kabul Zwanan vs Nangarhar Leopards 6th Match Ballebaazi Fantasy Cricket Preview
Kabul Zwanan
They have a sensation as their captain in Rashid Khan, who has reached his glory in a very short period. He is one of the most reliable players in Afghanistan’s team. He has shown his skill as captain as well. He along with Luke Ronchi, Wayne Parnell and others make up a strong contender in this tournament. The way they played their first match justified the same. They were not up to the mark in the second match which they would want to change in this match.
Nangarhar Leopards
They didn’t expect the last game to end the way it did. The batting was under pressure due to the massive score on the board. The middle order did show the zeal to fight, but it came a little too late. The openers didn’t give a good start, and then they were just an over or two short of the target. They will want to work on the game and get back in the match unhinged from the last defeat. Ben cutting will have to keep leading from the front.
