Sure to be disappointed with his players for their slow start to the season, Lynn will be urging the boys to improve their performances in the upcoming fixtures. The skipper will have special words for bowlers, who are yet to hit the ground running. In their previous game against Sydney Thunder, Brisbane Heat had been on-course for a well-deserved victory before horrific bowling displays threw them behind the opposition. Pressure is now mounting on this side, and they will be desperate for a win soon enough. They have no problems in the batting unit, as the duo of Max Bryant and Sam Heazlett are controlling the top-order brilliantly. As expected, Lynn is leading by example in the middle order, and is being assisted by the ever-reliable Daniel Lawrence and Tom Cooper.
Manchester City won the League Cup last season. In the final Josep Guardiola’s team beat Aston Villa without any problems. It should be noted that the townspeople became the owner of the honorary English trophy for the third season in a row and in terms of the number of League Cups won, they came close to the Liverpool record holder. Manchester City have now seven trophies, while the Merseysides have eight. In the previous two rounds the Mankunians have passed two not very strong opponents. First, they beat Bournemouth at home (2:1) and then away Burnley (2:0). In the Premier League Manchester City is still only in seventh place in the standings. Moreover, the townspeople often lost points in the championship just in the away matches, where in seven matches they won only three victories. Only Eric Garcia will not be able to play in the match due to injury. Questionable is the presence of Emeric Laporte and Gabriel Jesus.
