Probable top performers

Probable best batter of the match:

Upul Tharanga – Asia Lions

With 223 runs in four outings, Tharanga is currently the second-highest run-scorer of the competition and won’t mind finishing at the top. The former Sri Lankan captain can attack bowlers from the outset and his ability to play big knocks makes him even more effective. Hence, there are great chances of him being the most successful batter in the game.

Probable best bowler of the match:

Morne Morkel – World Giants

As far as the bowling department is concerned, Morne Morkel is most likely to top the charts. The right-arm pacer has bowled with hostility in the competition and often found himself among the wickets. With seven wickets in four outings, the former South African speedster is currently the leading wicket-taker of LLC 2022.

Today’s match prediction: World Giants to win the match.
