SS vs ST Key Players

Moises Henriques

At 38, Moises Henriques continues to enjoy his cricket. Nearly out of international reckoning, Henriques has a chance of doing something similar to Dan Christian who also used the Sixers to make a late comeback in his career.

Daniel Sams

Sams the all-rounder has started the tournament well. His bowling was not the greatest but his batting will definitely be something that makes Thunder happy.
