JOH vs DUR, Match 22: Top Five Picks
- Faf du Plessis (JOH): Skipper Faf du Plessis is leading his side from the front as he is the leading run-getter for the Super Kings in this tournament so far. Though with just one fifty in 6 games, he would look to add more to his tally.
- Leus du Plooy (JOH): Left-handed batter Leus du Plooy is behind Faf in terms of runs scoring for Joburg. He is averaging 78.50 in 4 outings with the highest score of 75*.
- Aaron Phangiso (JOH): Spinner Aaron Phangiso is a man in form with 10 wickets in 6 games. He is the leading wicket-taker for his side as he also won the POTM award for the Super Kings in the last game for match-winning figures of 4/20 (4).
- Quinton de Kock (DUR): Captain Quinton de Kock has scored 159 runs in six matches with what by his own standards is considered to be less. With scores of just 0, 13 and 0 in the last three games, de Kock is due for a big knock.
- Kyle Mayers (DUR): West Indian Kyle Mayers, who is opening the innings, has not hit a single half-century in 6 matches as he looks to reach the milestone in his seventh outing.
