Probable Best Performers from ABD vs EMI

Probable best batter: Nicholas Pooran

The former Windies skipper looks back to his normal self in the inaugural edition of the ILT20. The southpaw missed out on a brilliant half-century by just one run in his opening match of the season and compiled a brisk cameo in the following game to steer his side to victory.

Probable best bowler: Dwayne Bravo

Pooran's senior compatriot and veteran all-rounder Dwayne Bravo is also enjoying his time in the ongoing competition. He has five scalps to his name in just two games, making him the joint second-leading wicket-taker of the tournament. He has been exceptional in the death overs, nailing his trademark yorkers and slower cutters.
