Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: KV Sasikanth

Apart from being a terrific contributor with the ball, KV Sasikanth also has the ability to hit the ball at long distances, a skill that has made him one of the most dependable all-rounders in the Andhra cricketing fraternity. The 30-year-old experienced campaigner has over 1500 runs in his domestic career across formats. Despite his batting lower down the order, he can be a considerable batting option when the teams take centre stage.

In 8 T20 games so far, Vijay has picked a staggering tally of 12 wickets, at an astonishing average of just 15.50. His economy rate of 6.00 is also super impressive.
