Probable Best Performers:
Probable Best Batter: Daryl Mitchell (New Zealand)
Daryl Mitchell has shown great consistency over the last few months and has been Kiwi’s main middle-order batter in Kane Williamson’s absence. His amazing knock of 130 against India at Dharamshala was one of the best batting performances of the tournament even though that went in vain. He would be eager to make another big century in this match.

Probable Best Bowler: Adam Zampa (Australia)
Zampa looked out of form in the first two matches of the ongoing marquee event and was criticized by the former players and fans as well. He came back strongly in the last three matches, taking three four-wicket hauls. He has been bowling with great control and would be looking to continue his good form against the Kiwis as well.
