California Knights vs Texas Chargers Top Batters

Jacques Kallis to be the top batter for California Knights

Jacques Kallis on his return to competitive cricket after a long time scored a match-winning half-century (64 runs off 31 balls) against Texas Chargers. Kallis will look to replicate his performance once again versus the Texas Chargers and we back Kallis to be the top batter for California Knights.

Mohammad Hafeez to be the top batter for Texas Chargers

Mohammad Hafeez looked in great touch in the recently concluded Zim-Afro T10 tournament smashing 191 runs in 10 matches. He failed to score runs in his last outing against the Knights, but he has another shot at redeeming himself and scoring a match-winning knock against the same opponent in the reverse fixture against the California Knights and we predict Hafeez to be the top batter for Texas Chargers.

California Knights vs Texas Chargers Top Bowlers

Ashley Nurse to be the top bowler for California Knights

Ashley Nurse bowled a magical spell in his last outing picking up three crucial wickets to help his team win the match. We back Nurse to come good in the reverse fixture against Texas Chargers and be the top bowler for California Knights.

Sohail Tanvir to be the top bowler for Texas Chargers

Sohail Tanvir is one of the best bowlers in the shorter format and a wicket-taker. He is one of the most reliable bowlers in the death overs and has a high chance of taking wickets with the batsman looking to score runs. The surface favours bowlers who can bowl cutters and slower balls and Tanvir is the best at exploiting such conditions. We predict Tanvir to be the top bowler for the Texas Chargers against the California Knights.
