Rawalpindi Rams v Multan Tigers – Faysal Bank T20 - Match Preview
Rawalpindi Rams and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Multan-c819 Tigers will be up against each other in a crucial group B match of the Faysal Bank T20 Tournament, at the National Stadium Karachi, on September 29, 2011.
Pool B consists of four teams and all of them have the potential to qualify for the semi-final of the tournament. However, Faisalabad Wolves and Rawalpindi Rams pose to be the two best teams of this pool.
Multan Tigers are considered one of the weaker teams of the domestic cricket of Pakistan, even though they have some extra-ordinary young players who can change the complexion of the game on a given day. The real surprise in this group
lies in the shape of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Afghanistan-c745 Cheetas, as no cricket analyst has an idea of what this team is going to come up with.
Considering the sort of performance Multan showed in its first match against the Wolves, one can easily say that Rawalpindi will start this encounter as the favourites. Rawalpindi won the Faysal Bank Super Eight T20 Tournament 2011 and
surprised everyone by their performance.
The Rams do not have a lot of big names in their line-up but International all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sohail-Tanvir-c90665, inspired them with his leadership in the previous domestic event.
The responsibility in the batting department lies with young batsmen like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Babar-Naeem-c47131, also possesses the ability to change the course of the game single-handedly.
Awais Zia and Naved Malik are top order batsmen and the two of them impressed one and all in the previous season along with the wicketkeeper/batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jamal-Anwar-c65380, who bats at the middle-order and takes the onus on himself.
All-rounder Hammad Azam, who has been neglected from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751, is also a rising star. It is going to be a great chance for him to make an impression on the selectors once again.
However, the key player for the Rams is going to be none other than http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sohail-c90628 Tanvir. Apart from his inspirational leadership, Sohail holds the key with the new ball as a bowler. If he can pick up a couple of wickets earlier in the innings,
the job of spinners like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Samiullah-c88304 is going to become much easier.
On the other side of the coin, Multan Tigers would like to make a strong statement after a dismal performance in their initial match. There are some talented batsmen in their line-up like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Naved-Yasin-c2081. However,
it is going to be a huge challenge for the Tigers to score against the Rams.
There are some international cricketers in their bowling line-up in the presence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zulfiqar-Babar-c98673, who is knocking
at the doors of International cricket, remains the best bowler for the Tigers.
Babar has been a part of Pakistan A teams in recent tours and has been performing exceptionally well in the domestic circuit as well. The left-arm spinner claimed a hat-trick in the Faysal Bank Super Eight T20 Tournament 2011 earlier this
year.
Let us hope that the Tigers are able to give a tough time to the Rams and the cricket fans witness a very competitive match.
