Pre-match analysis[t20]: YOUNG GUNNERZ vs Crni Zmajevi Cricket Club

 Tomorrow the season finally begins with an exciting twenty20 match against the division favorite YOUNG GUNNERZ. The game starts at 5:00 ftp time, conditions expected to be windy/hard. Both teams are expected to be in the upper part of the league table. A win for Crni Zmajevi would surely boost their confidence a lot, while an early defeat can hurt the Gunnerz title hopes. The teams know each other from last season, when they finished 1-1 against each other. YOUNG GUNNERZ won at their home pitch by 7 runs, then after a beautiful bowling performance Crni Zmajevi took the second match with a 6 wickets victory. There was some movement in the ranks of the Black Dragons, as 4 of the player's from last season's squad already left the team, while 2 more is about to leave (Edward Dulling batsman and Pediya Aamir all rounder). There was lot less changes at the home side, as their only signing this season so far is Frederick Gibson (a 30-year old, experienced opener). Since Crni Zmajevi seems to be a pinch weaker at the moment, YG got only better, it's not risky to say that they're the favorites for tomorrow's clash. It can be seen as a clash of generations too, since YOUNG GUNNERZ mostly employing older, experienced players, while Crni Zmajevi is more like a raw, young, but talented team. Also, YG has more focus on seam attack, while the dragons likes to employ more spinners. Nothing is impossible in cricket, but I'd say YOUNG GUNNERZ will take this.
