Probable Top Performers
Probable Best Batter of the Match
Philip Salt – Manchester Originals
Phil Salt, in his last outing against Trent Rockets, slammed 86 runs off mere 32 balls, which featured 12 fours and five sixes at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 268.75. The Manchester opener will look to maintain his purple patch and replicate a similar performance in the forthcoming match.
Probable Best Bowler of the Match
Adil Rashid – Northern Superchargers
Adil Rashid was fairly impactful with the ball in his previous match against London Spirit as he claimed two scalps for 18 runs in his 20 deliveries. Adil will need to be razor-sharp against the Manchester batting unit and hungry to dent their innings in their upcoming match.
