Probable best batter of the match

Ishan Kishan (India)

Ishan Kishan blazed his way to a resplendent 70* off just 46 deliveries in India’s warm-up match against the England side and helped Virat Kohli and his men overhaul the target set by their opponents. The left-hander also scored 2 consecutive fifties in his final 2 IPL innings and will enter this contest brimming with confidence.

Probable best bowler of the match

Kane Richardson (Australia)

Kane Richardson was extremely impressive with the ball in Australia’s warm-up rubber against the New Zealand side. In the 4 overs that he bowled, Richardson leaked only 24 runs and also prized out 3 batsmen in the process as well.
