After getting shell shocked in their first loss of the season by the multitude of Emaan's hands, Shukr looks to seek vengeance this week. Recently relishing their 3-1 victory over Ikhlas, the blue shirts must refocus on winning more games. The ties are all fun and dandy, but is their any team that Shukr owns the "head-to-head" to? Captain Ibrahim Hindy continues his surge for Shukr while Shuaib Hussein leads the supporting cast. Will Shukr succeed in vengeance?
Emaan is licking their chops in anticipation of snatching another two points from the blue shirts this week. Last game, the Orangemen lurked by Ihsan and overthrew the Red Army in a 3-2 result. Emaan's achilles has been their first line tacked with some solid defensive push by Belal Hafeez, Bilal Pervaiz and Kashif Taqiuddin. The orange shirts gave a depleted Shukr squad a bad nightmare in the a form of a 6-1 beat down. Can Emaan preserve their second place standing? Will their persistent "crashing the net" reign again?
Player To Watch:
Riaz Lasania's defensive prowess has been an instrumental tool for Shukr.
Who's Hot?
Jibraan Salam continues to rolls his wheels every game. The lanky lad has been a menace for defenders but a hearty contributor for his team.
Burning Questions?
Will Shukr be able to continue their rise up the standings?
Ikhlas vs Haya
The account of the Green Machine is slowly running out of funds. Every game has triggered a wave of anxiety for Ikhlas and now with only a mere 4 games remaining in the regular season, the post season window is gingerly closing. It's either giddy up or get off now. The green shirts sported another bruiser by the hands of Shukr and need to step it up against Haya, whom they played a better game against last time. Will Ikhlas be able to come back to life with a win over the first place squad?
The Misty Marauders swallowed a pill that might've been bigger than anticipated, but let's face it, it's reality. How long can you go unbeaten for? We can debate till the cows come home that Sabr's net-minding stole the show; or did Haya came out flat? That being said, I'm willing to bet my wooden hockey stick that Ikhlas will probably get minimized once again, cause Haya's got some frustration to release. Umar Muhammad and Saleem Malik have been solid shareholders to Haya's offence, expect them to procure some points. Can Haya get back in the win column?
Player To Watch:
Rizwan Malik is the energy of his team. Expect Rizwan to give Ikhlas a lesson or two on how to "drive" towards the net.
Who's Hot?
Umair Awan was the lone point getter last game for the green shirts. Can he transport his team out of the dark and into the light.
Burning Questions?
How will Ikhlas reply to Haya's abundance of firepower?
Sabr vs Ihsan
Sabr's aura after edging Haya was obviously euphoric. Yousuf Sowdagar pounced on a nifty short handed goal while Mohsin Lalva sealed the deal on a yawning Haya net. Zayd Agjee's gleaming performance gave the yellow shirts a critical win that stabilizes their post season aspirations for another day. This week's theme for team yellow will pretty much be "encore". Will Sabr be able to conquer an Ihsan team that's simply yearning for a win? Can GM Mustafa Alam's team build off the momentum and spank Ihsan?
We can't even hashtag this team #bleedred, cause seriously, the bleeding just won't stop. Ihsan's biggest of woes is simply failing to win. In what was a close game last week, losing to Emaan really stung the Red Army. The plethora of talent on Ihsan and what their producing has many of us wondering what's going on. The big red has gotta get this ship sailing! Time is running out and with a burnishing Sabr team coming up for battle this week, it might not be a smooth sail. How will Ihsan reply to Sabr?
Player To Watch:
Ahmad Hathout sits as the poster boy for the Red Army this year. With ten points already pocketed, it's foreseen that Hathout can revive his team's post season dreams.
Who's Hot?
Yousuf Sowdagar's two point night was more than welcoming. Will Sowdagar be able to deliver this week versus Ihsan.
Burning Questions?
Two teams headed in the opposite ends of the food chain? Which team will correct their paths to the playoffs?
