SCL Match 6: Amo Sharks vs Band-e-Amir Dragons Prediction and Preview

After 2 consecutive subpar seasons, the Amo Sharks must have been hoping for a good show this year, but rather than being a hopeful beacon, their start was more of a harbinger for another possibly disappointing season. Chasing Speen Ghar Tigers’ semi-decent total, they could only muster a feeble two-thirds of their target. Needless to say, they will want to improve their batting, and preferably not stop there. Next up, they face Band-e-Amir Dragons, who, after having a painful first loss, made Boost Defenders look like a group of amateurs in their second match. Amo will be looking to get a win under their belt early on if they are to have hopes of qualifying, while BEAD will want to race ahead and win as many as possible to get one of the top two slots. Before tensions rise on the field, let’s take a look at how the teams are poised.

Amo Sharks Preview & Form

Other than having last year’s BEAD hero Javed Ahmadi to bolster them, the Amo Sharks are lacking big name firepower. Despite his presence, the batting was a disaster in their first match with the highest score in the lineup, 30, was scored by a bowler. Thankfully, their bowling hasn’t looked too bad. If they are to gun for a strong run this season, they definitely need to focus on improving their batting. Facing BEAD does not bode well to that possibility, as their last two encounters ended with the Sharks unable to score over 120. 

Band-e-Amir Dragons Preview & Form

The Dragons have certainly shown resolve and resourcefulness to bounce back from their defeat so strongly. Limiting Boost Defenders to a measly 133 for 9, they breathed fire at the Defenders bowlers to rampage to 134 with 9 wickets in hand. Moreover, they had 5 overs to spare which has catapulted their net run rate from -0.05 to +1.114. Sharafuddin Ashraf was the standout hero with the ball, followed closely by Waqar Salamkheil. The duo’s combined efforts cost their opposition a whopping 7 wickets from 8 overs, with only 30 runs scored. When their turn to bat came about, they made it look almost too easy as they massacred the bowlers for a sizable win. Going forward, they will definitely want to perform this way. 

AMSKS vs BEAD Match Prediction

Given the single round robin format, losing this match will make it very difficult for the Sharks to qualify. A third shoddy performance in as many seasons might just cause the team to implode. Expect Javed Ahmadi to focus and get the runs with help from Darwish Rasooli, while Hayatullah and Sayed Nasratullah take some crucial wickets.

A strong win is just what BEAD needed to motivate them for the next few matches, and now that they got just that, they will most likely be a much stronger force from now on. Expect Usman Ghani and Asghar Afghan to pepper the rope and stands with blows, while Waqar Salamkheil and Sharafuddin Ashraf make breakthroughs with the ball.
