Tallinn Hippos – Team Preview
Tallinn Hippos have been in scintillating form this season. With 6 wins out of 7 matches, they are sitting at the top of the table. The backbone of their team has been Steffan Gooch, who has scored 249 runs and looks unstoppable with the bat. Alongside him, David Robson has been exceptional with the ball, scalping 8 wickets so far.
Their recent 9-wicket win over Tallinn Super Riders was a statement. The bowlers, led by Ramesh Tanna, bowled tight lines and restricted the opponents to just 69.
