SCO vs SIX Probable Best Performers

Explosive New Zealand opener Finn Allen has been in sublime for this season. He has aggregated 430 runs in eight innings at an average of 43 and a strike rate of 186.15. The 26-year-old scored a crucial 49 off 30 balls in the last game against the Sixers in Qualifier 1 and won the Player of the Match award. He will look to give his team a flying start in the summit clash, making things easier for the batters to follow.

Probable Best Bowler: Jack Edwards

Jack Edwards has bowled remarkably this season. He has 18 wickets to his name from 12 matches at an average of 17.78 and a strike rate of 13.11. Edwards has an economy rate of 8.13. Three wickets in the final and he can finish as the highest wicket-taker in the tournament. The right-arm seamer will have a key role to play with the ball on Sunday.
