MI got off to a good start in the first game with really good bowling but blew cold the next game with their batting being a slight let down. Royals though on the other hand start this season better with Joe Root getting some runs and the side getting a win after a poor finish to last season.

Ryan Rickleton

Rickleton has been turning things to gold in each format. He is batting really well and is fresh off a strong Test match as well.

Kwena Maphaka

Maphaka is being touted as a star for the future. He has the pace and action and is still raw and could well be a star going by early trades.
