GGC vs DBG: Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Daryl Mitchell

Daryl Mitchell is one of the most consistent batters in modern-day cricket. While his stats in the longer formats are much better, he is still a force to be reckoned with in T20s. The Kiwi batter was dismissed cheaply in the last game and would be hoping to redeem himself on Saturday.

Probable Best Bowler: Lungi Ngidi

Lungi Ngidi just didn't have enough runs in the bank in the last game. In two overs, he conceded 13 runs and picked up one wicket. The South African fast bowler will hold the key on Saturday. It will be interesting to see if he is given the new ball as Ali Khan and Paul van Meekeren, the bowlers who started for Glasgow in the last game, were very expensive.
