8.5

Jason Holder ADKR | ALL

The veteran all-rounder Jason Holder has played a crucial role with the ball for the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in the tournament. He has scalped 15 wickets in eight innings, including a brilliant four-wicket haul [4 wickets at just 23 runs in a match]. He is also the most wicket-taker for his side in the tournament.

Blessing Muzarabani GG | BOWL

Zimbabwean star Blessing Muzarabani is currently in action for the Gulf Giants in the ongoing ILT20 2025. He has scalped 14 wickets, with a decent economy rate of 6.94, including the best performance of ‘3 wickets at just 25 runs in a match.’ He can also be selected as one of the ‘top picks’ in this game’s fantasy team.

Michael-Kyle Pepper
