Key Players

Sunil Narine

Sunil Narine is proving to be the trump card OVI are after. His twenty balls are worth gold as he is giving nothing away and he is applying loads of pressure on batters. His spin continues to get better and better as he adds to his Armory. With the CPL starting though, Narine won’t be around for long and OVI will hope to make the most of him while he is around.

Benny Howell

In a side with some of the biggest stars in T20 Cricket, Benny Howell is making a name for himself. He is picking up key wickets and maintaining a fair economy rate as well. With the side intent on aggressive batting, his bowling adds to their value as he is delivering twenty good balls consistently.

OVI vs BPH Match Tips

Sunil Narine vs BPH’s batters is likely to make a huge impact on the outcome of the game. Unless Narine manages to provide two or three wickets and some tight deliveries, OVI will have a tough time containing BPH. OVI are a strong side, but for now match-ups will play a huge role as BPH are slightly ahead in the match-up game, on paper.
