SCO vs SIX Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter: Finn Allen
Right-handed batter Finn Allen could be the key player in this high-stakes clash. The explosive opener is the second-highest run-scorer of the tournament, having amassed 381 runs in nine innings at an impressive average of 42.33. Allen’s ability to dominate the powerplay and anchor the innings if required makes him a vital asset, and a strong performance from him could propel his team into the final.
Probable Best Bowler: Jack Edwards
On the bowling front, Jack Edwards could be Sydney Sixers’ trump card in the Qualifier. He has been outstanding throughout the season, picking up 15 wickets in 10 matches at an average of 18.33. Edwards’ four overs will be crucial in applying pressure and breaking partnerships, and he will need to be at his best to guide the Sixers into the summit clash.
