Tamim Iqbal’s Vikings will have a task in hand to stop Kings’ rampage, who have also upped their game in the business end of the group stage. Darren Sammy’s team have won 5 and lost 6, while Vikings have the opposite numbers in their kitty. With lots to play for, Saturday’s second clash promises to be an enticing affair.
Vikings and Kings have met before in match No. 16, in which Vikings prevailed over Kings by 19 runs. Winning the toss, Kings opted to bowl but ended up leaking a big score to Vikings.
Vikings’ innings was led by opener Dwayne Smith, Anamul Haque and Mohammad Nabi. It was Smith’s 34 that gave his side a good start after Tamim fell for 5. In addition, Anamul continued with a fine fifty before Nabi’s 87 not out bolstered their side’s total to 190 for 5 in 20 overs. In reply, Kings were in the chase for long but lost the plot in the death overs.
There were starts given by Monimul Haque, Sabbir Rahman, Junaid Siddique and Umar Akmal, but no one stood till the end to bail them out. They ended at 171 for 9 with Taskin Ahmed picking up a 5-for.
Both Kings and Vikings have improved and faced a lot of ups and downs since then. 23 games have gone by since then, and we can expect a cracker of a contest between the two sides, who have won quite a few nail-biters and showed character to reach the top 4.
