We have run out of superlatives to describe Trent Boult in this tournament. Boult has now four wicket haul in each of the last three games making him the most lethal weapon in MI New York’s locker in the upcoming game. Boult ended up with 4/24 against Texas Super Kings as MI booked a place in the finals which makes him our top pick for the game.
Cameron Gannon to be Seattle Orcas’s top bowler
Even though Cameron Gannon had an underwhelming game against Texas Super Kings, Gannon with 11 wickets is tied with Andrew Tye as the top wicket taker for Seattle Orcas but what's even more impressive is the economy of 7.32 which he has maintained throughout the campaign.
