END vs UMA Champions T20 Cup 2024 Preview
The Dolphins cricket team is yet to secure a single win this Pakistan Champions T20 Cup 2024 season. With five defeats in succession, they are placed at the bottom of the five-team points table with a dismal NRR of -1.370. Already out of contention to qualify for the knockout stage of the tournament, Faheem Ashraf’s dejected troops will be aiming to register some consolation wins before closing off their campaign. For the Dolphins, only Sahibzada Farhan has managed to haul over 100 runs so far in the competition, while bowlers Qasim Akram and Sameen Gul have led the wicket-taking charge with five scalps each.
The Markhors team, under the leadership of Pakistan all-rounder Iftikhar Ahmed, has romped to four wins from just five league fixtures to be ranked second on the Champions T20 Cup 2024 points table, finding themselves only behind table-toppers Stallions. A win over a struggling Dolphins unit at this stage of the tournament might put the Markhors above the Stallions on the table. Khawaja Nafay, Saad Masood and captain Iftikhar himself have played starring roles with the bat for the Markhors, while bowlers like Nisar Ahmad and Akif Javed have successfully helmed the team’s bowling attack off late.
