As the league stage matches in the 2019 instalment of the Shpageeza Cricket League start running down their course and entering into the concluding stages, today’s encounter comes bearing with it mammoth ramifications for both of our opponents of the day. While the first clash slated for Sunday will determine which side ends up in first place in the league, the second clash is an equally pivotal one with the losing side suffering a damaging defeat, one which can eventually shunt them out of a spot in the ensuing round.
Currently in fourth position with the two defeats and a win from three matches, Boost Defenders have only regressed and go on a downward spiral ever since winning their first game of the exhibition league. The side have been left miffed and disgruntled with performances which have seen them being mauled left, right and centre, leaving the side in a peril which refrains them from making it to the next round if things continue in akin manner.
Elsewhere, Speen Ghar Tigers haven’t fared off any better but what has revived the smallest of a glimmer of making massive strides in the points tally for the outfit is the fact that they finally managed to win their first match after registering two defeats on the bounce.
After bleak and meek results, the managed to put down a colossal Mis Ainak Knights side by 4 runs, a defence of their run chase which saw the side deliver the determination, resolve and resoluteness which was amiss till now.
