Probable best batter of the match

Quinton de Kock— Southern Brave

Quinton de Kock has been in excellent touch for the Brave ever since he joined the team. In five matches, the southpaw has notched 180 runs at an average of 60 and a strike rate of 176.47. Having already scored two fifties with a top score of an unbeaten 72, the South African has shown his class. He needs to be on top of his game.

Probable best bowler of the match

Sunil Narine — Oval Invincibles

Sunil Narine has arguably been the standout batter for the Invincibles in the tournament. He is the joint-highest wicket-taker for the team along with Tabraiz Shamsi. Both have picked up seven wickets. However, Narine has been the most frugal bowler for the Invincibles with an economy rate of 1.18. He needs to be on his mark next time as well.
