MIE vs GG Key Players

James Vince

James Vince has been pretty consecutive in the back end of the tournament. He is a common name in franchise Cricket and now stands a strong chance of winning a trophy this year after getting close with the Sixers.

Dwayne Bravo

Dwayne Bravo, at 40, is still doing his magic. His slower balls continue to get more and more deceptive and he has done his job fairly well in the death so far.
