Current Form Analysis

Victoria Recent Form：WW

Victoria started the tournament with mixed performances. Their batting lineup, led by captain Corey Anderson, has shown glimpses of brilliance but lacks consistency. Joe Clarke and Scott Edwards form a reliable core in the middle order, while the bowling department, spearheaded by Dominic Drakes and Karima Gore, has delivered steady performances. However, their inability to defend targets remains a concern.

Lahore Qalandars Recent Form：WL

Lahore Qalandars have been one of the most exciting teams in the league, demonstrating aggressive strategies with both bat and ball. The inclusion of experienced players like Carlos Brathwaite and Faheem Ashraf has bolstered their lineup. Opener Mirza Baig and middle-order batter Tom Abell have been key contributors, while Tabraiz Shamsi’s spin wizardry poses a significant threat to opponents.

Probable Playing XI

• Victoria: Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Blake Macdonald, Jonathan Wells, Corey Anderson(c), Karima Gore, Dominic Drakes, Jackson Smith, Joe Clarke, Scott Edwards†, Callum Stow, Max Birthisel.
• Lahore Qalandars: Tom Abell, Mirza Baig, Muhammad Faizan, Carlos Brathwaite(c), Luke Wells, Faheem Ashraf, Adam Rossington†, Muhammad Akhlaq, Tabraiz Shamsi, Salman Mirza, Asif Afridi.

Key Players to Watch

Victoria

• Corey Anderson: The skipper needs to lead from the front with both bat and ball.
• Joe Clarke: Known for his explosive batting, Clarke can change the game’s tempo in no time.

Lahore Qalandars

• Carlos Brathwaite: The captain’s experience and power-hitting in the death overs are invaluable.
• Tabraiz Shamsi: The wrist-spinner can be lethal on a slow Guyanese surface.
• Mirza Baig: The opener’s ability to provide a quick start can put pressure on the opposition early.
