Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Phil Salt

Phil Salt has looked in good touch in the first couple of games this season. The Manchester skipper scored a 41-ball 60 in the first game against Southern Brave and followed it up with a 32-ball 41 against Oval Invincibles. Salt will look to play a blistering knock at the top and give the power-packed middle-order a solid platform.

Probable Best Bowler: Liam Dawson

Liam Dawson has been in brilliant form of late. The left-arm spinner has picked up three wickets in the first two matches, and 20 out of his 40 balls have been dots. Dawson's spell through the middle is going to be crucial. Even when he doesn't pick up wickets, he doesn't give away too many runs, keeping the pressure constantly on the batters.
