MCA-PCA Perak Champion School U17 Zon A Preview

The 2022 MSSD Kinta Utara U18 runner-up, Sekolah Tuanku Abdul Rahman Ipoh will be hosting the 2022 MCA-PCA Champion School Zon A and will be looking to use home advantage as they look to top the group.Schools competing in Zon A will be host, SM Tuanku Abdul Rahman Ipoh, SBPI Gopeng and Perak Tengah religious school from Parit, SMA Maahad Al-Aziz. Matches will kick off today 10 November and champion of the group will advances to the state level which will be scheduled at the end of November. Let gets a roughly look of the three team competing today based on the information from PCA-CricClubs
SM Tuanku Abdul Rahman Ipoh
The 2022 MSSD Kinta Utara runner-up will be the favourites to win both matches. STAR Ipoh always comes with high expectations in tournaments they joined. This year champion school Zon A, STAR hopes could hinge on the performances of their new middle-order line up with Aslam Zamani, Eiman Nul Hakim and Husin Zachary all set to give exposive firepower. As favourites, the pressure will be on them, but with good track records beckoning behind them, it is hard to look beyond for STAR victory today
SMA Maahad Al-Aziz, Parit
Losing the MSSD Perak Tengah 2022 title to SMK Seri Iskandar this year is a bit of sour to swallow. But coming to this tournament with a new squad with their first taste of white-ball tournament, MAAZ will be looking for a surprise.
In light of that, MAAZ has rebuild a side looking to challenge STAR Ipoh with  the likes of Abdul Azim Ishak, Ahmad Rafiq Azman, Adib Zuhair and Ziqry Hazim. 
Series of undefeated friendly matches in the preparations against SMK Changkat Lada and SMKA Sultan Azlan Shah would build a perfect preparation for MAAZ, and their enter the Zon A competition as second-favourites behind the host school.
SBPI Gopeng
Dark horses of the tournament, the SBPI Gopeng packed with a new talent who just play cricket last month. The youthful talent of SBPI Gopeng will be keen to perform in STAR Cricket Ground and challenge for the top of the group. 
Rather surprisingly, SBPI Gopeng were the only school that has a cricket team in Kinta Selatan and their performance in the state level school were below par. Since its inception in 2007, SBPI Gopeng just manage to records one win against Manjung in 2010. In fact they are unable to compete against the big boys of Perak school cricket.
Maybe there will be a breakthrough from Adam Hariz, Aiman Hakim, Aiman Afif and Aqil Isma having playing with their seniors in school, shining with the bats and ball.
Is SBPI Gopeng topped the group?Well probably not, but if there is ever a toss coin competition brought up due to weather concerns, SBPI Gopeng will have a chance
