SLK vs BR Top Player Picks
Roston Chase (SLK)
The all-rounder impressed during the later stages of the 2024 T20 World Cup's for West Indies earlier. Chase has the ability to construct an innings and eventually accelerate. He is quite often gelled important knocks for the Kings and can take wickets with his finger spin in the right arm.
Quinton Kock (BR)
In the current CPL 2024, the South African batter became the second player to reach a century that came against the Guyana Amazon Warriors. He is the leading run-scorer with 367 under his name at an average of 91.75 in the tournament. De Kock has been in scintillating form with the bat.
Noor Ahmad (SLK)
The left-arm wrist spinner has been in excellent form with the ball, bemusing the opponents with the stock ball and the wrong’un. Noor has already picked up ten wickets in the tourney and is among the top five wickettakers in the list.
Obed McCoy (BR)
The left-arm pacer has the knack for wickets and and is their leading wicket-taker. He has already bagged nine wickets in six games so far in CPL 2024. McCoy has a good short bumper and a nice slower one that can leave the batter bewildered.
SLK vs BR Differential Picks
Faf du Plessis (SLK)
Faf seems to have overcome the issue of score conversation that he was facing during the start of the season with a 62 off 31 against the Patriots. However, a low score followed in his recent game against the Falcons. Nevertheless, the Proteas has the ability to knit match-winning knocks in most franchise tournaments and should come good.
Jason Holder (BR)
The Barbados star all-arounder is expected to have a significant influence with both the bat and the ball. Despite having already claimed seven wickets in six games, he hasn't performed very well at bat. Holder was decent with the bat in the recent Test series against England but is yet to transcend to the T20 level.
