SRH vs LSG Probable Best Performers
Probable best batter
The burly West Indian opener has been in tremendous form in this year’s competition for the Lucknow-based franchise. He played a blistering innings in his last outing against the defending champions, but his ill-timed dismissal opened the floodgates for their opponents.
Probable best bowler
The young Indian leg spinner had a rare off day against Rajasthan Royals in his previous outing as he has been Sunrisers’ best bowler in the tournament so far. With the surface expected to assist the slower bowlers, he is likely to have a big say in the proceeding on his home turf.
