Context

Yaqeen is coming off a huge win last week by clinching 1st in the Medina Division. Now this week the team can help Manjra claim the scoring title and Bandisha the GAA award. Also Yaqeen can finish 1st overall in the league helping boost Mian’s case for the GM award.
|
Last week’s lost to Ridha was a huge blow to Ihsan’s playoff chances. However they are still in it mathematically and now is not the time to be hanging your head and waiving the white flag.

Ridha has turned their season around. Baring a colossal collapse they will be heading into the post-season and matching up against Sabr. Ridha easily the hottest team heading into the playoffs need to use this game to continue to generate momentum and send a message to Sabr on how difficult their lives will be next week.
|
Sabr was supposed to be the chosen one to win the Medina Division. They have been on a downward spiral and the numbers reflect that. In fact if they lose this week Ridha will leap-frog them in the standings and Sabr will finish 5th overall in the standings. This is not where we had them projected, so they would be best to use this game to try to rediscover their form from earlier this season

Ikhlas is trending in the wrong way heading into the playoffs. Loser of 5 straight games, Ikhlas needs a good showing this week to build confidence for next week’s playoff matchup versus Emaan
|
Haya has locked up first in their division and now are looking to help team-mates achieve individual awards. Imran Alvi is currently slated to win the Lowest GAA award and Haya can help strengthen Arshad’s case for GM of the season by finishing first overall.

Taqwa will not be heading into the playoffs. Those that are not planning to show up are missing an opportunity to showcase their skills going into next season. Also the team has represented themselves well down the stretch with their effort and should want to see it through to the end.
|
Emaan will be looking to help Yusuf Ingar or ArifKhan win the Points Title. As well Emaan will try to Arif Khan bring home the goal-scoring crown. Lastly, their goaltender Samad has a chance at winning the Lowest GAA award.
