Dealt a huge blow with the news of Dawid Malan and Asif Ali unavailable for the entire LPL season, Thisara Perera will be looking to his other players to rise to the occasion. Though their boots will be difficult to fill in, JST will surely find a way around this dilemma. With Johnson Charles set to feature for Vaadaa Machan this season, the onus will be on him to deliver most of the runs. Backed up by the experienced Avishka Fernando and Dhananjaya de Silva, Charles job will be made much easier. JSTs middle-order seems pretty decent, comprising high-profile names like Thisara Perera, Tom Moores and Shoaib Malik. Definitely, these ones will help their teams cause with their unrivaled quality with the bat. Their bowling unit is already well-stacked.
The past weekend showed that Leicester cannot yet be called a TOP club. Rogers’ wards were defeated by Liverpool with a score of 3:0 in the English Championship. This loss ended the series of “foxes” and 5 consecutive victories (in all tournaments). The team feels comfortable in the Europa League. On their account there are 9 points after 3 matches. The total score of goals scored and conceded is 9:1. 3 of 9 goals are scored by Kalechi Iheanacho. To officially secure a place in the Europa League playoffs, Leicester simply needs to beat Braga in the upcoming round. In this case, the blues may even lose in the remaining matches, but still the 1/16 finals will not go away from them. The Foxes’ next match in the Premier League is against a weak Fulham. This means that there is no need to save energy in a match with Braga. Damage continues to heal by: Ndidi, Amarty, Pereira and Seyunju.
