Gulf Giants (GUL) stamped their authority in the league phase as they stood first on the points table.

VIP vs GUL Probable Best Performers

Probable best batter

James Vince:

James Vince has been in fine form for the Giants as he carved out a blistering knock of 83 runs in the Qualifier 2 to help the side secure a berth in the finals. While the side has a decent batting line-up, James will look to lay a solid foundation while opening the innings when he takes the field against Desert Vipers.

Probable best bowler

Wanindu Hasaranga:

Desert Vipers will turn to the Sri Lankan star spinner to get the vital breakthroughs in the summit clash of the event. Though not much spin is expected on the surface in Dubai, Hasaranga’s slower deliveries could work wonders for the side in their clash against Gulf.
