Where Both Teams Stand Right Now
Amo Sharks’ perfect start to the season finally ended against Speen Ghar Tigers, who chased down a target after bowling Amo Sharks out for 201. They responded well though, beating Band-e-Amir Dragons comfortably in their very next match, so this isn’t a side in any real trouble despite that solitary loss.
Mis-e-Ainak Knights have had a bumpier ride. After beating Band-e-Amir Dragons in their previous outing, they lost to Amo Sharks themselves and then fell again to Boost Defenders in their most recent match, chasing 192 but coming up short at 173.

A mixed run. Their win over Band-e-Amir Dragons is sandwiched between defeats to Amo Sharks and Boost Defenders, while last season’s tournament final loss to Amo Sharks sits further back in this form line too.

Players To Watch
Azmatullah Omarzai, Amo Sharks
Leads from the front as a genuine all rounder, contributing with both bat and ball. His side’s strong season owes plenty to the balance he brings to the XI.
Fazalhaq Farooqi, Amo Sharks
One of Afghanistan’s most dangerous new ball bowlers, and a big reason Amo Sharks have kept opposition totals in check for most of this season.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Mis-e-Ainak Knights
Captains the side and remains their most dangerous batter at the top of the order, capable of taking a game away from the opposition inside the powerplay.
Mohammad Nabi, Mis-e-Ainak Knights
A vastly experienced all rounder who can win a match with either bat or ball. His calm head matters even more given his side’s recent inconsistency.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mis-e-Ainak Knights
A world class spinner who controls the middle overs as well as anyone in Afghan cricket, and a genuine wicket taking threat on a pitch that’s rewarded disciplined bowling all tournament.
Match Prediction
Amo Sharks remain the form side of the tournament despite their recent loss, and their bowling attack has been the most consistent in the competition all season. Mis-e-Ainak Knights have the batting depth to trouble anyone, led by Gurbaz and Nabi, but their recent form has been shaky.
Our prediction leans Amo Sharks, mainly on the back of their overall consistency this season and a bowling attack that’s given them a genuine edge in tight contests all year.
