Rangpur Riders vs Victoria Best Batters
Soumya Sarkar to be Rangpur Riders’ Best Batter
Soumya Sarkar was the top scorer for Rangpur Riders in the previous game against Hampshire where the opener scored 27 runs and led from the front. With a total of 1408 runs in 84 T20I innings in his career so far, he is expected to continue to lead the way for the team in the next game as well.
Joe Clarke to be Victoria’s Best Batter
Joe Clarke was not the top run-getter for Victoria in the last game against Guyana Amazon Warriors considering the opening batter departed for 17 runs. However, he was striking at 121.42 and entered this tournament after a brilliant County Championship Division One season where he scored 917 runs in 21 innings. He is expected to top the charts this time around.
Rangpur Riders vs Victoria Best Bowlers
Zak Chappell to be Rangpur Riders’ Best Bowler
As predicted for the last match, Zak Chappell was the top wicket-taker for Rangpur Riders against Hampshire where he achieved a remarkable fifer in his four-over spell. Moreover, he kept his economy rate down to 5.75 which was rather impressive. With a stellar bowling average of 4.60 in the tournament and the form he has shown, he is the leading choice to be their premier bowler once again in the upcoming fixture.
Corey Anderson to be Victoria’s Best Bowler
Corey Anderson delivered a two-over spell in the last match against Guyana Amazon Warriors but ended up tied as the team’s second highest wicket-taker with one wicket. He also achieved an impressive economy rate of 7.50 and an excellent bowling average of 15.00, making him the top contender for the next match against Rangpur Riders.
