Player Picks

8.5
C

Tom Bruce CS | BAT

Central Stags opening batter and skipper Tom Bruce has scored 16 runs and scalped two wickets with the ball in hand. He is the most valuable player moving into this encounter with both bat and ball.

8.5
VC

Sean Solia AUK | ALL

Sean Solia is another all-rounder to watch out for. He bats in the top order and bowls his full quota of four overs. Though he couldn't create an impact in the previous clash, we can expect him to turn the tables.

8.5

Doug Bracewell CS | ALL

Doug Bracewell is the second-leading run-scorer of the campaign with 95 runs. He is batting in the middle order, and we can expect him to come out all guns blazing in yet another clash.

7.5

Jayden Lennox CS | BOWL

Jayden Lennox is the leading wicket-taker of the competition with six scalps from two innings. The left-arm spinner is one of the bowlers to watch out for in this game.

7.5

Danru Ferns AUK | BOWL

Danru Ferns, the bowling all-rounder, has scalped three wickets from just one clash. He enters this game as an impressive budget pick.

7.5

Cam Fletcher AUK | WK

Keeper-batter Cam Fletcher has scored 24 runs in one game, batting in the middle order. A lot is expected from the star batter in the forthcoming games.
