TEAMS PREVIEW
Bahrain Preview
Bahrain head into the contest on the back of a crucial victory against Hong Kong. They managed 210 runs while batting first, thanks to Ahmer Bin Nasir (46) and Junaid Aziz (47), who had 77-run stand. Their bowlers did the rest of the job and bowled out Hong Kong to 178 runs. They lost four wickets on 27 runs and didn't recover. Hong Kong had chances when they were 154/5 and required 57 off 49 balls. A mini collapse did the last job for Bahrain.
In the opening game, they suffered a big defeat against Nepal. They were bowled out for 87 runs and Nepal chased down the target in 21 overs. Bahrain recently played the ICC CWC League Two where they secured just one victory in the Tanzania leg. With just five wins from 14 matches in the competition, they are now out of the qualification race and cannot finish among the top two.
The same story goes in the ACC Premier Cup. They need to win the remaining two games to qualify for the semifinals. Their NRR is weak so they will struggle if their points are tied with any team.
Sohail Ahmed was Bahrain's leading run-scorer in CWC League, having scored 287 runs in 11 innings at an average of 35.88. Asif Ali has also contributed 274 runs at an average of 34.25. Imran Anwar was Bahrain's leading wicket-taker in the CWC Challenge League, having picked up 11 wickets at an average of 19.09. Ali Dawood has bagged four wickets in two matches of the Premier Cup.
