Probable best batter of the match

Quinton de Kock— Southern Brave

Quinton de Kock has been exceptional thus far in the men’s edition of the Hundred. The left-handed batter has notched 189 runs at an average of 47.25 and a strike rate of 178.30. With two half-centuries under his belt, the southpaw has a top score of an unbeaten 72. He will now be looking to play another knock of substance on Friday.

Probable best bowler of the match

Tom Curran— Oval Invincibles

Tom Curran has been the standout bowler for the Invincibles in the tournament. The pacer is currently the leading wicket-taker for his team, having scalped 10 wickets. However, his economy rate of 1.46 is a tad on the higher side. Curran will now look to get more wickets and make an impact in the Eliminator on Friday.
