In the last game of day one in this week two of this European Cricket Series (ECS) Malta 2020, Msida Warriors CC will square off against American University of Malta. Both teams are coming into this game on the back of contrasting forms. While Msida Warriors CC have lost just one game so far, American University of Malta are yet to record a win in this competition.
Msida Warriors CC didn’t have the best of starts to this tournament. In their first two games, they had a big loss and a washout against Marsa CC. However, they came back really well in the next two games to record two wins in a row. They defended scores of 101 and 72 really well and thus, they might be slight favourites going into this game.
Meanwhile, American University of Malta have looked good throughout their three completed games in this tournament but just haven't been able to close out games. They have batted first every time and have defended well too. But they have just not been able to close out games and the Jitesh Kumar Patel-led side have lost all their games in the final over. They will be aiming to bounce back.
