Key Players to Watch
Adil Butt
Eswatini • Bat
Career T20I avg 45.40 — tournament’s best non-qualifier batter. ESW’s highest-ceiling fantasy pick
Minhaz Khojbariya
Eswatini • Bat
Consistent support for Butt — builds ESW’s total to competitive levels even on worn Accra pitches
Thiwanka Rajapaksha
Seychelles • Captain / Bat
SEY’s most experienced player — Sri Lanka background. Must anchor innings for any Seychelles chance
Thimeera Madushanka
Seychelles • Bat
SEY’s second most technically sound batter — needs to build a long innings with Rajapaksha
🏆 Predicted Winner
Eswatini
Confidence: 60% — Superior batting (Butt’s avg 45.40), better overall squad quality, Seychelles winless all tournament
