Mele Tafea Bulls vs Mighty Efate Panthers match prediction 6 Jun 2020
Mele Tafea Bulls will go head on with Mighty Efate Panthers in match number seven of the ongoing season of the Betbarter Vanuatu Blast T10 League at the Vanuatu Cricket Ground at the Hybrid Oval on June 6, Saturday. Both teams have played four matches as of yet in this ongoing competition but the outcome is quite contrasting. One sitting at the top of the points table and the other, languishing at the bottom with just one win from four games. Mighty Efate Panthers are the current league leaders as they have managed to earn six points from possible eight and will be looking to register their fourth win of the season when they take on Mele Tafea Bulls in the forthcoming match on Saturday. Mighty Efate Panthers and Mele Tafea Bulls have faced each other twice already and both teams have managed to win a piece. In the first game of the tournament, Mighty Efate Panthers thrashed Mele Tafea Bulls by 37 runs. In their next head to head encounter, Mele Tafea Bulls got the better of Mighty Efate Panthers by three wickets, and mind you, that was their only victory that came in this ongoing season of Betbarter Vanuatu Blast T10 League.
Mele Tafea Bulls
Mele Tafea Bulls are coming into this fixture on the back of a loss against the third team of the competition, Ifira Sharks. The Bulls lost that encounter by 13 runs as they were chasing a target of 109 runs in their allotted 10 overs. Andrew Mansale was the star of the show as he picked up four wickets and scored 34 runs from just 18 balls but still could not take his side over the line and eventually ended up losing their third match of the ongoing edition of Betbarter Vanuatu Blast T10 League. Along with Mansale, Patrick Matutava too performed well both with the bat and ball against Ifira Sharks. However, if the Bulls want to pull off a win against the table toppers on Sunday, they will be counting heavily on Mansale and Clement Tommy. The last time the Bulls faced the Panthers, Tommy rained down on the Panthers bowling attack as he went on to score a half century from just 20 balls.
Probable XI:Patrick Matautaava, Andrew Mansale (C), Clement Tommy (WK), Eddie Mansale, Philip Tsione, Nono Chila, Godfrey Mangau, Rival Samson, Darren Wotu, Wamjeo Wotu, Marcel Taea.
Mighty Efate Panthers
Mighty Efate Panthers are the table toppers as they have gone on to win three out of the four matches they have played so far in this tournament. Unlike Mele Tafea Bulls, Mighty Efate Panthers are coming into this fixture on the back of a massive 30-run victory over Ifira Sharks. Joshua Rasu, yet again, was the star of the show, but this time with the ball. His figures of 2-0-7-3 crippled Ifira Sharks and their innings crumbled like a house of cards. However, you cannot just ignore the Simpson Obed’s antics with the bat because without his blitzkrieg of 40* from just 16 balls, Mighty Efate Panthers would not have been able to put up a decent total on the scoreboard.
Probable XI: Joshua Rasu (C), Jarryd Allan(WK), Kendy Kenneth, Wesley Viraliuliu, Simpson Obed, Kenny Tari, Lazaro Carlot, McMillan Markia, Selwyn Garae, Tony Tamata, Shem Sala.
