Probable Best Better: Alex Hales
Alex Hales, the tall English opener, struggled for the second game in a row after being dismissed for a low score against MI Emirates. Despite this, he remains a danger to opposing bowlers as the tournament’s leading run-scorer and his ability to play big shots during field restrictions.
Probable Best Bowler: Naveen-ul-Haq
Naveen-ul-Haq, of Sharjah Warriors, has been effective with the ball, particularly at the beginning of innings, in the first ILT20 tournament. He shares the lead for most wickets in the competition with 10 in 7 games.
