Jamie Smith (27 runs) and Jamie Overton (24 runs) played vital knocks with the bat at the top and lower order to help the team win.

WTC Man of the match Kyle Jamieson brings the X-factor into their bowling attack.

Top Players to bet on:

Will Jacks – Will jacks has been unbelievable with the bat scoring 241 runs at a strike rate of 180+ so far. He also can contribute with the bat like 2-1-7-2 in the last game. He is the MVP of their team.
