The Aberdeenshire Cup final takes place at Mannofield on Sunday, brought forward from its usual end of August date. 2022 winners Bon Accord take on the holders Knight Riders with a 1pm start on what looks like being a scorcher of an afternoon.
Knight Riders have been the masters of the cup run chase recovering well after losing their first 4 wickets lbw in the semi final win against Grade 1 leaders Master Blasters. The Bon Accord batting hasn’t been going at full tilt in the Cup so far, but their bowling has been exceptional. Fazal Awan posted a century in the 2022 final for Bons and if he can repeat that feat then Knight Readers will need an Olympic effort to deliver gold.
