Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match

Chris Lynn

Australian power-hitter Chris Lynn has been in decent touch recently. The right-handed batter played an excellent knock of 61 runs in just 47 balls and stroked five fours and two maximums in his last innings against Durham. Lynn will want to continue his good form in the next match as well.

Probable best bowler of the match

Mark Watt

The left-arm spinner from Scotland has been bowling well in the tournament. The 25-year-old did not get any wickets in his previous outing, but he bowled with a lot of discipline giving away just 29 runs in his four-over quota. Watt will be looking to grab some vital wickets for his team in the next match.
