New Delhi, May 29: On the third day of the high scoring tournament, Mighty Efate Panthers will go on to face Ifira Sharks at Hybrid Oval's Vanuatu Cricket Ground.
Panthers have played three games so far winning two of them to get to the top of the points table. In the last match against Sharks, we saw a double batting collapse as Sharks crumbled to 35 runs only, and Panthers took 7.4 overs to win by wickets. Panther's Simpson Obed, Joshua Rasu, and Tony Tamata took 3 wickets each against the Sharks. Whereas for Sharks, Stephane Sandy only gave 3 runs and clinched a wicket in his two-over spell.
Panthers' all-rounder, Joshua Rasu will be the pick of the match as all eyes will be locked on him. Rasu scored a dashing 69 runs off just 29 balls against MT Bulls. So far, he has plucked 5 wickets in the league.
Obed Yoseph clinched two wickets at an expense of two runs against MT bulls and has shown best performance with ball for Sharks so far. Nalin Nipiko who scored 33 runs not out against the Bulls is the highest scorer for his team.

Captain: Joshua Rasu of Panthers will be the pick as a captain, a perfect player. As we know, he will be opening for the winning team & on the other hand, he is an all-rounder performing well with both bat and bowl. So, without a doubt, Rasu should be the captain.
