Pre-Match Analysis:
In a dramatic turn of events, Hobart Hurricanes lost by just one run in their latest match against Rangpur Riders on Sunday. With 2 wickets remaining and 13 runs needed in the final over, they tried hard but couldn’t reach the finish line. Veteran all-rounder Mohammad Nabi’s brave innings of 44 off 36 balls couldn’t prevent the loss.
Earlier in the tournament, they comfortably beat Dubai Capitals by 7 wickets to earn crucial points. With 2 matches remaining, they must win both to stay in contention for the finals.
Central Stags are under pressure after losing both matches. They failed to chase 165 in their first game against Dubai Capitals, falling short by 22 runs. Things worsened as they were dismissed for just 92 while chasing a tricky 158 against the Guyana Amazon Warriors, showing their struggles against spin bowling. After these significant setbacks, they have dropped to the bottom of the standings with no points. With a net run rate of -2.20, their chances of qualifying for the finals are very slim.
