PP vs RL — Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Martin Guptill

Martin Guptill could be the batter to watch out for on Friday. The New Zealander smashed a 28-ball 68 against Gurugram Thunders to light up the tournament. If Guptill gets going inside the powerplay, it will be hard to stop him and the big hitters down the order will have themselves a great platform from where they can explode.

Probable Best Bowler: Amit Mishra

The former Indian leg-spinner could play a crucial role in the upcoming encounter. Amit Mishra took two wickets in Panthers’ last game against Delhi Warriors and conceded just 29 runs. No other bowler on his team had an economy rate below 10 in the innings. Mishra will have a key role to play, especially during the middle overs.
