Rashid Khan

Champions opponents require champion players to stop them and Rashid Khan potentially could be the one here to make an impact. The others in the Strikers have done a fine job so far but the upcoming game could be Rashid’s chance to step out of the shadows and show he his and why he is so famous on the franchise circuit.

Luke Wood

Luke Wood has done well to make a mark on the tournament. He got an England cap earlier and is living in the moment now as he is enjoying his time as Trent Boult’s partner with the new-ball for the Melbourne Stars
