ASL vs WOG, Match 3: Top Five Picks
- Aaron Finch (WOG): World Giants skipper Aaron Finch struck 53 off 31 with 7 fours and 3 sixes against India Maharajas. The right-handed opening batter looks in good touch as he is worthy pick for this fixture.
- Shane Watson (WOG): Like Finch, Shane Watson also smashed a half-century (55 off 32) against the Maharajas. Batting at no.3, the veteran all-rounder showed his class as he could be picked yet again for this contest.
- Ross Taylor (WOG): Former New Zealand captain and player Ross Taylor got dismissed for just 1 run in the last game as he would hope to get a decent score under his belt against Asia Lions.
- Misbah-ul-Haq (ASL): Former Pakistani Misbah-ul-Haq hammered 73 off 50 with 2 fours and 4 sixes in the last match as he handled the middle-oder and took his side to a competitive total. The right-handed batter is a reliable option for this tie.
- Tilakaratne Dilshan (ASL): Right-handed batter Tilakaratne Dilshan registered a single-digit score in the last outing as he failed to give a good start to his team. The experienced campaigner may deliver the goods in this contest.
