GUL vs SJH, Match 11: Top Five Picks
- Chris Lynn (GUL): The Australian has been in a good form in the Big Bash League 2022-23. Lynn was scoring very consistently in the Australian league and will look to translate his form in this tournament.
- Tom Kohler-Cadmore (SJH): The English batter played a blinder in the last match. TKC scored 106 runs of just 47 balls and helped his team achieve a target of 178 runs in just 14.4 overs. He will look to ride on his brilliant form and score more runs for his team in the tournament.
- James Vince (GUL): The Gulf Giants' skipper has been in great form with the bat in this tournament. He has already amassed 224 runs from three innings in the tournament. Vince will be determined to continue his good form in the tournament.
- Chris Woakes (SJH): The English all-rounder has been good with the ball so far in the tournament. Woakes has picked up five wickets from three matches and there is an added credibility of his being handy with the bat lower down the order.
- David Wiese (GUL): The Namibian international has been decent with the ball in the tournament. He has five wickets under his belt from four matches. Wiese has not yet been himself with the bat, but he does have the ability to change the complexion of any game with the bat.
