SPC vs FFC Match Preview:
Saipem Calicut
Saipem Calicut, currently placed fourth in the points standings, went through a roller-coaster of a Super Six stage. They are in a difficult situation with only one win and two losses in their last three matches. However, their recent win over ATL proved their tendency to improve. Any batting order can be demolished by the bowling unit, which is led by the outstanding Shiraz Khan, who took a remarkable 5 wickets in the previous match. They have depth in their bowling attack owing to Saadh Sajjad, who took two wickets in one match.
The top-order batsmen for SPC, Stanley Cherian and Mohammed Farook, showed glimpses of their potential and will try to get off to a fast start. The last match’s unbeaten duo between Sajid Anjillath and Ashif Hassan proved their ability to remain cool under pressure. This core group will be depended upon heavily by SPC in order to defeat FFC and advance in the Finals.
Freedom Fighter Cochin
The Super Six has been challenging for Freedom Fighter Cochin, who are sitting at the bottom of the standings after losing all four of their previous matches. Their recent loss to COH brought focus to their inconsistent play. Sanju Mohanan and Abhilash Kunnummal, among the other bowlers, were able to limit the opposition to 151 runs, but their batsmen were unwilling to build on the strong start provided by openers Loluk Dunha and Febim Benny.
FFC will need the leadership and batting abilities of Captain Loluk Dcunha if they are to win the Super Six for the first time. The work of Febim Benny at the beginning of the line-up will also be quite important. To prevent further failures, the middle order needs to move forward and offer stability. In order to save their Kuwait Kerala Premier League season, FFC will be eager to regroup, fix their batting issues, and put on an impressive show against SPC.
