The PHI are led by an experienced campaigner who brings calmness and clarity to the leadership role. Under his captaincy, the team has focused on building strong fundamentals. His tactical awareness and team spirit are evident in their recent triumphs.

PHI batting is anchored by the likes of Henry Tyler, Arashdeep Samra, and Rhys Burinaga, who provide stability and flair. The middle order has shown composure in pressure situations, and there’s enough firepower down the order to finish well. Players like Huzaifa Mohammed and Liam Myott add flexibility to the lineup.

Their bowling attack has evolved into a reliable unit, with pace spearheaded by Grant Russ and Arashdeep Samra. Spin options like Kepler Lukies and Amanpreet Sirah offer variety and control in the middle overs. The bowling lineup is also bolstered by all-rounders who contribute crucial overs.

South Korea

South Korea’s captain leads from the front with energy and purpose. He has been instrumental in guiding a relatively new squad through its developmental stages. Though still growing in stature, his intent and attitude keep the team motivated.

SKOR’s batting revolves around players like Daham De Silva, Kim Daeyeon, and Hyeon Min Houn Ethan. While they have talent in the top order, consistency remains a concern. The middle order struggles under pressure, often failing to capitalize on starts.

The bowling unit, led by Balage Dilruksha and supported by Saurabh Kumar and Kuldeep Gurjar, offers decent pace and spin options. However, their inability to contain runs or pick up wickets in clusters has hurt them in recent games. Discipline and control are areas they must improve.

In the last clash against the Philippines, SKOR collapsed for just 57 runs chasing 159. Their batters faltered under pressure, leading to a regular fall of wickets. The bowlers initially showed intent but couldn’t prevent a defendable total. It was a crushing 101-run defeat that exposed their weaknesses.
