ASL vs WOG Probable best performers
Probable best batter
The recently retired Australian opener was in menacing mood when his side took on the India Maharajas in the previous match. The diminutive dasher smashed a blistering half-century and stitched an invaluable stand with compatriot Shane Watson to post a challenging total on the board for the opposition.
Probable best bowler
The former Pakistani pacer rolled back the years with a brilliant display for the Asia Lions. The left-arm pacer was impeccable in the death overs and grabbed two crucial wickets of Yusuf Pathan and Irfan Pathan to turn the tide in his side’s favour. He returned with brilliant bowling figures of 3/27 in his four overs.
