Suryakumar Yadav

After a slight struggle in the first game Suryakumar Yadav was back at his free flowing best against Hong Kong. The variety in his shots were on display and the confidence will surely carry him into the upcoming game. With Jadeja out, the responsibility on the middle order increases and he will have a larger role to play.

Babar Azam

Babar Azam has two low scores in the first two games. He has not been at his best so far but is not far away from a big score. With a lot of skill and form behind him, the upcoming game can have him scoring big.
