Lions-PAK are set to lock horns with Panthers-PAK in Match 6 of the Pakistan Champions T20 Cup 2024. The game will light up the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Wednesday, December 11, starting at 12:30 PM IST.

Lions-PAK

Lions-PAK have had a nightmare start to their campaign, losing both their opening games. The last game against Stallions-PAK was a bitter pill to swallow as they fell short by 12 runs. Their bowlers, Awais Anwar and Shahid Aziz, were expensive, leaking 38 and 48 runs without picking up a wicket. While Muhammad Musa and Faisal Akram chipped in with crucial wickets, the collective effort was missing.

With the bat, skipper Imam-ul-Haq led from the front, hammering 43 off just 28 balls. Hasan Nawaz and Khushdil Shah chipped in with 30 and 28, but no one played the anchor’s role to see them through. Zeeshan Malik and Rohail Nazir, who have been off-colour so far, need to step up if Lions-PAK are to roar back into the tournament.

Panthers-PAK

On the other hand, Panthers-PAK, bounced back in style after losing their opener to Stallions-PAK by 35 runs. In their last game, they hammered Dolphins-PAK by eight wickets, with Amad Butt leading the charge with the ball. Butt’s sensational spell of 3/19 in his four overs, along with Mohammad Ibtisam’s two wickets, restricted Dolphins to 160/8.

Umar Siddiq was the star with the bat, smashing an unbeaten 78 off just 53 balls. Skipper Haider Ali played the perfect partner with a brisk 46 off 28, as Panthers chased down the target with ease. With momentum on their side, Panthers will look to keep their winning streak alive and pile on Lions’ misery.

How Will the Rawalpindi Stadium Pitch Behave?

Rawalpindi’s surface is usually known for its batter-friendly nature, but this tournament has shown it to be a fair contest between bat and ball. The flat tracks have just enough for bowlers to stay in the game, with spinners coming into play in the second half. Teams chasing have enjoyed more success so far, so winning the toss and opting to bowl first seems like the way to go. A total above 160 could prove to be the winning formula.

Players to watch out for in NUR vs LCP

Lions-PAK

Imam-ul-Haq

Imam-Ul-Haq has scored 56 runs in two matches in the tournament so far at an average of 28.00 and a strike rate of 140.00. His role at the top will be crucial for the Lions to get off to an explosive start.

Hasan Nawaz

Hasan Nawaz who has amassed 52 runs in the first two games will play a vital role in holding the middle order together and to keep the scoreboard moving in the middle overs.

Mohammad Salman

Mohammad Salman has bagged three wickets so far in the solitary match he has played, however, what has stood apart is his miserly economy of 5.25. His ability to keep things tight and pick up wickets will be key for Lions.

Muhammad Musa

Muhammad Musa bowled exceptionally well in the last match which saw him take a couple of wickets. His bowling with the new ball will be important in setting the tone for the rest of the bowlers.

Panthers-PAK

Umar Siddiq

With 102 runs in the first two matches, Umar Siddiq has shown his capability to score big runs. He smashed an unbeaten 78 in the last game and he will once again look to replicate his performance to make it two in two for Panthers.

Haider Ali

Captain Haider Ali has looked in sumptuous touch so far, having scored 100 runs in the first two matches at a blistering strike rate of 185.18. His role in the middle order will be important for the Panthers.

Mohammad Ibtisam

Mohammad Ibtisam has snagged four wickets across the first two matches at an average of 16.50 and an economy of 8.25. He will shoulder the responsibility of helping Panthers get the breakthroughs.

Amad Butt

Amad Butt was exceptional in the last game which saw him snag 3/19 in his four. He will aim to put in a similar kind of performance in the upcoming clash.
