One thing going for the Sparks is the return to form of star striker Phil Younghusband who fired 15 goals in just six games in the first round.

The chasing pack has a difficult task of catching up with the top teams as bottom squads Nomads, Pasargad and Agila have all pulled out of the competition after they were unable to beef up their lineups in the absence of a third transfer window this season.
