The 22nd match of the KCC T20 Challengers A League 2025 will feature MEC (MEC Study Group) taking on THN (Thane Warriors) at the Sulaibiya Cricket Ground.
Date: Thursday, 5 June 2025
Time: 10:00 PM IST
Venue: Sulaibiya Cricket Ground Parking, Kuwait City
MEC vs THN Match Preview: While MEC have shown better rhythm, winning 3 out of their last 5 matches (WLWLW), THN are struggling with just a solitary win in their last five outings (LLLWL).
MEC have looked solid with key contributions from their top-order batter A Muhammad, consistent wicketkeeping from Y Idrees, and all-round excellence from Z Khan and N Asmat. On the other side, despite a weak form streak, THN still boast fantasy-worthy players like I Abbas and H Kishore, who can turn the match around on their day.
Expect MEC to continue their impressive run but don't write off THN's potential for an upset.

Wicketkeepers:
Y Idrees (MEC) – Most picked (97.35%), a consistent performer with 267 points. Must-have pick with both bat and gloves.
H Kishore (THN) – 134 points and picked by 92.72% of users. Has proven reliable despite THN's struggles.
N Ahmed (MEC) – A low-selection differential pick (5.62%) with 46 points; viable in mega contests.
Batters:
A Muhammad (MEC) – 273 points and picked by 96.59%. A dominant force with the bat this season.
M Nabeel (MEC) – Budget pick (15.42% selected) with 80 points; good to differentiate lineups.
K Tushar (THN) – Just 32 points and picked by 10.94%; high-risk pick for grand leagues.
All-rounders:
Z Khan (MEC) – 255 points and picked by nearly every user (97.58%). Consistent fantasy giant.
N Asmat (MEC) – Another top-tier all-rounder with 226 points; crucial pick in all contests.
I Abbas (THN) – The standout for THN with 194 points. A rare reliable performer from their squad.
Bowlers:
A Nabeel (MEC) – Top bowler with 318 points and a 93.93% pick rate. Lock him in.
A Gurung (THN) – Only 41 points; a high-risk low-return pick.
W Ali Hossain (THN) – Could be a surprise inclusion in large leagues. Unpredictable but capable.
Captain (C): Y Idrees – Top fantasy scorer, opening bat, and wicketkeeper. Safe and effective pick.
Vice-Captain (VC): Z Khan – An all-round contributor with both bat and ball, makes him a top multiplier option.

MEC vs THN Dream11 Team Players to Avoid
