TEAMS PREVIEW

Hampshire Preview

Hampshire are undoubtedly the weakest team of Global Super League 2024. Even the win was in the Super Over against Rangpur where the match was tied after two complete innings. It was their first match of the tournament where Hampshire defeated Rangpur Riders in the Super Over. 

Batting first, Hampshire could manage just 132 all-out in 20 overs. Shaan Masood was the top scorer with 56 of 41 balls. In response, they got Rangpur Riders all down for exactly the same score. Liam Dawson and James Fuller took two wickets each and were very economical. Hampshire prevailed in the end courtesy Liam Dawson's fabulous six on the fifth ball of the Super Over. 

In the next two games, Hampshire had to face defeats against Lahore Qalandars by 4 runs and against Guyana Amazon Warriors by 4 wickets. Joe Weatherley and Toby Albert are Hampshire’s best batters while Liam Dawson and James Fuller are their best bowlers. Hampshire are practically out of the tournament but they would like to end this global super league 2024 with a win against the table toppers Victoria.

Key players: Joe Weatherley, Toby Albert, Liam Dawson, James Fuller

Hampshire Predicted Playing XI:

Tom Prest, Alistair Orr, Shan Masood, Joe Weatherley, Toby Albert (wk), Benny Howell, James Fuller, Liam Dawson, Chris Wood (c), Danny Briggs, Sonny Baker

Hampshire Actual Playing XI:

Toby Albert, Ali Orr, Tom Prest, Joe Weatherley, Benny Howell, Liam Dawson, James Fuller, Sonny Baker, Chris Wood, Shan Masood, Danny Briggs

Victoria Preview

Victoria are on the verge of qualifying for the finals of the Nobel Super League 2024. They have won two of their three matches so far. The only loss came against Lahore Qalanders. 

Victoria started the season with a four-wicket win against Guyana Amazon Warriors. Chasing 163, Victoria reached the target with four wickets and four balls to spare. Jackson Smith took two wickets for 38 runs while multiple batters chipped in to help Victoria get their first win.

In the next game against the Rangapur Riders, Victoria managed just 151 batting first. It was a slightly under-par score, but Victoria's bowlers, especially Callum Stow, helped gain a crucial victory by 10 runs. Callum Stow took 3 wickets for just 15 runs in 4 overs. He was well ed by Max Birthisel, who took 2 wickets for 22 runs in his 4 overs.

If not for the loss against Lahore Qalanders, Victoria might already have qualified for the finals. Blake McDonalds and Jonathan Wells are batting well, whereas Callum Stow and Max Birthisel are the peak of the bowlers for Victoria. One expects Victoria to put everything into this match to get to the finals.

Key players: Blake McDonalds, Jonathan Wells, Callum Stow, Max Birthisel

Victoria Predicted Playing XI:

Blake Macdonald, Joe Clarke, Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Jonathan Wells, Scott Edwards (wk), Corey Anderson (c), Dominic Drakes, Karima Gore, Max Birthisel, Callum Stow, Jackson Smith
