Probable Best Batter of the Match – Nicholas Pooran

Nicholas Pooran has aggregated only 11 runs in the first two games this season. However, the southpaw was in scintillating form in the recently-concluded Indian Premier League. The MI New York skipper has the potential to bounce back strongly.

Probable Best Bowler of the Match – Obed McCoy

Obed McCoy has picked up only two wickets in as many games this season. However, he has bowled economically. He has conceded runs at an economy rate of 6. McCoy would want to create pressure on the opposition batters and hope that his fellow bowlers can capitalise.
