Team Previews
Houston Stars Preview
Houston Stars are coming off a strong win against Space City Raiders. Despite early setbacks with Saiteja Mukkamalla and John Campbell departing cheaply, the middle order rescued the innings. Smit Patel and Shreyan Satheesh stitched together a vital stand, and Justin Dill provided the finishing touch with a quickfire 32*. Their top scorer so far is Prannav Chettipalayam (34 runs), while Gajanand Singh leads the bowling with 2 wickets. The Stars have a decent all-round unit and their strength lies in a deep batting order that can chase or set a target confidently. Their only concern is the early top-order stability which they must address going forward.
Mustangs Cricket Academy Preview
Mustangs Cricket Academy had a convincing 8-wicket win over Seattle Thunderbolts. After early losses, Sujith Gowda (63*) and Unmukt Chand (56*) anchored a calm chase, highlighting their top-order resilience. On the bowling front, Derone Davis (4 wickets) impressed with his disciplined spells. MCA’s balanced combination of aggressive batting and attacking bowlers makes them a dangerous team. However, their dependency on Gowda and Chand for runs might backfire if early wickets fall. Still, their recent all-round performance sends a warning to their opponents.
