The Vipers got Matheesha Pathirana in the team and replaced him with Mohammad Amir. The team has lost three games but we feel they playing the best possible combination and won’t be keen on making changes to the playing XI.
VIP Key Players
- Alex Hales - Alex Hales returned to form and played a 61 run knock vs Sharjah Warriors. The runs will give him a lot of confidence and he will now look to ride on momentum and deliver consistent performances in the tournament.
- Azam Khan - Azam Khan scored 35 in 22 balls in the last game but was run out. Khan can be brutal on his day. Even though his recent form has not been great, runs in the last game will bring some confidence back.
- Wanindu Hasaranga - Hasaranga is a match winner with the ball as well as the bat. He picked three wickets for 30 runs in the last game. Overall, he has taken six wickets so far. He is equally effective with the bat as well.
