Top Picks:
Dattu Appaji has been in red hot form with the ball in this tournament. Just two matches in, and he has 5 wickets to his name and he has given just 28 runs in 4 overs, and a bowling strike rate of 4.80.
Abinash Panda in the two matches he has played in the tournament has scored 76 runs, maintaining a strike rate of 116.92. His average currently stands at 76 runs and adding to this are the three wickets that he has taken too.
Sameer Sidhanti with two wickets and 26 runs to his name in two games is looking good and his past records in domestic T20 matches show that the best of his performances are yet to come and it may very well be this match that he shows what he is capable of doing.
Ganesh Swaroop has taken three wickets in two matches and has given away just 17 runs, which by the standards of the T10 tournaments are nice numbers. He looks in good touch with the ball and is expected to do well in this match.
