Japan Preview
Japan have been one of the most improved sides in associate cricket, displaying consistency and team balance throughout the qualifier. Skipper Kendel Fleming has been inspirational, both with his leadership and contributions with the bat. The batting unit, led by Abhishek Anand, Ibrahim Takahashi, Sabaorish Ravichandran, and Eesam Rahman, has provided Japan the stability they needed.
In the previous clash against Samoa, Abhishek Anand was the star performer, smashing a brilliant 55 off 42 balls, including three boundaries and four sixes. Captain Fleming supported him with a composed 35 off 31 balls, while Takahashi’s quick-fire 30 from 14 balls ensured Japan posted a challenging total of 162/6. Their batting approach—combining patience with late acceleration—has been key to their success.
Bowling has been Japan’s biggest strength. The trio of Declan Suzuki, Charles Hinze, and Ibrahim Takahashi have consistently picked up wickets. Suzuki, in particular, impressed with 3 for 29 in the previous match, while Hinze maintained control with figures of 2 for 22 in four overs. Sabaorish Ravichandran’s all-round abilities and Benjamin Ito-Davis’s experience further strengthen Japan’s attack.
Heading into this match, Japan will be keen to maintain their winning run and continue their disciplined, team-oriented approach that has brought them success so far.
Japan Predicted Playing XI:
Kendel Fleming (c), Abhishek Anand, Eesam Rahman, Sabaorish Ravichandran, Benjamin Ito Davis, Charles Hinze, Ibrahim Takahashi, Reo Sakurano Thomas, Declan Suzuki, Alexander Patmore (wk), Shoma Slater
Qatar Preview
Qatar enter this contest under pressure after suffering consecutive defeats. Their campaign hasn’t gone as planned, but they possess the firepower to bounce back. Skipper Mirza Mohammad Baig will rely on the experienced batting core comprising Imal Liyanage, Zubair Ali, Shariq Munir, and Muhammad Tanveer to deliver consistent performances.
Against Nepal, wicketkeeper-batter Imal Liyanage was the lone warrior, scoring an impressive 56 off 35 balls with five fours and three sixes. Zubair Ali also contributed a valuable 52 off 55 balls, but lack of support from the middle order cost Qatar a competitive total. The batting unit will need to convert good starts into big partnerships to challenge Japan’s disciplined bowling attack.
Bowling remains Qatar’s biggest concern, though there have been glimpses of promise. Daniel Archer Louis and Mirza Mohammad Baig were impressive in the last match, both picking up three wickets apiece. The presence of all-rounders like Mujeeb Ur Rehman and Owais Ahmed adds depth, but Qatar must focus on controlling the run rate in the powerplay overs.
To win against an in-form Japan, Qatar will require a collective effort—both in constructing partnerships and maintaining discipline with the ball.
Qatar Predicted Playing XI:
Imal Liyanage (wk), Zubair Ali, Shariq Munir, Muhammad Asim, Muhammad Tanveer, Mirza Mohammad Baig (c), Shahzaib Jamil, Daniel Archer Louis, Amir Farooq, Mujeeb ur Rehman, Owais Ahmed
