Quetta Qavalry (The Debutant Threat)
Quetta Qavalry is making its first appearance in the tournament but has assembled a squad packed with T10 specialists and game-changers. Predicted by many analysts to win the opener, they are built for aggression.
- Batting Power: The focus will be on the destructive all-rounder Liam Livingstone (striking at 212 in T10s) and explosive opener Evin Lewis. Wicketkeeper Andries Gous is also an experienced, high-strike-rate batter.
- Bowling Attack: The attack is led by the pace of Mohammad Amir (c) and Trent Boult, with spin maestro Imran Tahir and all-rounder Jason Holder providing crucial control and wickets.
Northern Warriors (Seeking Redemption)
The Warriors finished 6th last season, failing to make the playoffs, and are hungry for a strong start. Their squad is well-balanced, featuring dangerous Afghan hitters and effective international bowlers.
- Batting Power: Shimron Hetmyer (c), Colin Munro, and Johnson Charles form a formidable top order. Hazratullah Zazai is also a brilliant striker known for attacking from the first ball.
- All-Round Threat: Azmatullah Omarzai and Odean Smith provide late-order hitting and pace bowling options.
- Spin Control: The team relies on the left-arm wrist spin of Tabraiz Shamsi, who is highly effective in this format.
