TEAMS PREVIEW

Diasqua Little Sai Wan Cricket Club Preview

Diasqua Little Sai Wan Cricket Club will be playing their first match of the season and will be hoping to start with a win. They had a disappointing campaign last season, winning just 1 of their 4 games, with their only victory coming against Kowloon CC. They also lost their last meeting with United Services Recreation Club in September 2025, despite Haider Ali scoring a brilliant 102. They will be looking for a much better team performance this time around.

Haider Ali will be one of the key batters to watch out for. He scored 102 off 104 balls in their last meeting with United Services Recreation Club and also made an unbeaten 66 in their win over Kowloon CC last season. Nathan Kelaart scored 103 runs in four games, while Ehsan Khan added 109 runs. The team will need these batters to step up and put up a good total.

Ehsan Khan will be an important player with the ball for Little Sai Wan. The Hong Kong international is coming into this game in good form after taking five wickets for just 26 runs against Singapore on 14 October. He will be hoping to carry that form into this match and help his team get off to a winning start.
