CEP vs KHP Dream11 : Culminating day of the league stage matches begins with two bottom of the table sides taking on each other
Advertisement
With Southern Punjab winning on Monday, Central Punjab have been handed over one final lifeline to make it into the semi-finals of the tournamnet. It’s not an easy chance for them by any margin though with the side need to script a humongous win over Khyber Pakhtunkhwa if they are to make it into fourth place.
What will give them solace though is the fact that they are squaring off against a side which finds itself languishing in the bottom of the points tally. With just the one win till now in the tournamnet, one which came in their first match of the tournamnet as they defeated Balochistan by 7 wickets, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa befittingly find themselves in the bottom spot.
Currently on a three match losing spree, they’ll know today that although they can’t make it any further in the tournamnet, this final match of the tournament for them will be one where they have save themselves from horrid embarrassment. Central Punjab continue to remain in with a chance of making it to the semi-finals but the side haven’t fared off any better, winning just the one match till now, a 5 wicket triumph over Southern Punjab.
And its Southern Punjab they’ll be looking to displace from fourth spot come today’s impending clash and move into the top 4 in a match which sees the bottom two placed sides battle it out against each other. This might be a match between two of the worst sides this tournamnet but expect the level of competition to be high given both will be looking to overturn and turnaround a set of dejecting results for them.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
An average score of 169 while batting first with the side chasing winning on three out of four occasions over here points towards one rhetoric only. This is a batting track, a wicket where the runs will flow by easily with the batters finding it way too easy to send the ball to the fence.
With the pitch set to remain intact for the full 40 overs, the side winning the toss will be opting to chase today.

CEP vs KHP Dream11 Wicket-Keeper
With 198 runs in 4 encounters, Mohammed Rizwan has amassed the maximum number of runs for his side till now, seeing us pick up the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa wicket-keeper for this encounter.
CEP vs KHP Dream11 Batsmen
Continuing with the batting picks from the side and we have Khushdil Shah come into our setup as well with the bat having amassed 93 runs in 3 matches. He’s given Rizwan adequate company in a batting unit which has otherwise been despondent and sorry, leading to the side’s fallout in the tournamnet.
Elsewhere from the opposition we are getting in the two picks in the form of Babar Azam and Ahmed Shehzad, two players who have respectively scored 136 and 171 runs for the outfit till now.
CEP vs KHP Dream11 All-Rounders
The three players come into our side from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa over here with us beginning with Mohammad Mohsin, their top wicket taker with the 8 wickets for his side till now. Adil Amin and Iftikhar Ahmed come in as well for us with us opting to choose these three players owing to their ability to intertwine their capabilities with both the bat and ball and get in points from a two toned facet.
Elsewhere from Central Punjab we’ll be venturing in with Faheem Ashraf whose 8 wickets in 3 encounters are the highest any players has taken for the side.
CEP vs KHP Dream11 Bowling Order
The two players from Central Punjab are opted by us over here due to the identity of their opponents, a side which is way to prone to collapsing and losing its way to bundle out cheaply. The four wickets for Usman Qadir see us get him in along with Waqas Maqsood while it’s just the sole selection of Usman Khan-Shinwari from the other side who has taken the 5 wickets to wrap up our side for this clash.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Ahmed is our captain for this clash while Babar is the vice-captain.
