JOH vs EAC Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter

Matthew Wade:

While the Super Kings skipper Faf du Plessis is an obvious threat to the opposition bowlers due to his prolific run in the competition so far, the veteran Aussie holds the key for his side in the middle overs. Matthew Wade is capable of playing in several positions in the batting order, and he displayed his importance with a belligerent cameo in the previous encounter after the top-order failed to fire against the MI Cape Town.

Probable best bowler

Gerald Coetzee:

Joburg Super Kings has unearthed a future star in the form of the 22-year-old Gerald Coetzee, who has been a constant nuisance for the batters. The right-arm pacer has scalped 17 wickets for his side, the most in the competition, and is headed into the game on the back of a match-winning three-for against the MI Cape Town.
