The final match on day two of the Dream11 European Cricket Series Alicante promises to be a close encounter between two evenly matched sides.
Levante play back-to-back matches against a Pinatar Pirates side who will be fresh, having enjoyed a break from day two action until now. Following a couple of wins and a defeat on the opening day, Pinatar actually headed the table going into day two.
Pinatar skipper Gopi Singh has been the most consistent wicket taker for his side so far, while wicket keeper Sukhpal Singh has been tidy behind the stumps with a series of swift stumpings. “Sukhi” Singh can also find the boundary with ease when called upon with the bat. Opener Abbas Saqlemm batted through the innings for an undefeated half century as Pinatar posted a decent score against the Intellectuals, while Spanish international Kuldeep Lal blasted a vital unbeaten match-winning knock of 53 off 25 balls against La Manga, ably supported by all-rounder Jassie Jagdeep Singh with 29 off 15 balls as Pinatar coasted to a nine-wicket victory with 10 balls to spare.
Levante will be battle-hardened after a tough introduction against Madrid United. Watch out for the big performers for Levante from their opening game, especially the likes of Azhar Abbas and Furqan Zameer who are both adept at finding the boundary and did not shy away from the big occasion in the national finals. All-rounder Shakeel Khan is a more than useful performer with bat and ball as well.
