The match will see two of the most precocious foreign talents in the PKL go head-to-head, in the form of Iran's Meraj Sheykh and Fazel Atrachali. The battle between the two compatriots promises to be a memorable one, given the fact that they have represented their nation together for so many years and that they bring a distinct flavour to the league.
While all-rounder Meraj can be a truly unstoppable force on his day with his unique raiding and defending styles, Fazel too is an immovable object - resolute in defence with his powerful body blocks and dashes. Their battle should be one to savour!
