Zahir Khan returned in place of Sheldon Cottrell last time out. Migael Pretorius had previously made way, despite taking three wickets when they last met Bangla Tigers.
DGT Key Players
Shane Watson: Top-scored with 41 when these teams last met, following up his 57* in the first match, and he hit six fours and six sixes last time out on his way to 75* from 35 balls.
Mohammad Shahzad: Scored just one last time out, but his form at the top of the order has ensured at least one of he and Watson have scored well in almost every game so far.
Zahoor Khan: Finished with figures of 2-8 last time out, after a stunning wicket-maiden from the penultimate over. They were his first wickets in the tournament but he proved his worth that over.

Frustrated by the rain in the penultimate game, which ended their winning streak, they then lost last time out against Northern Warriors. Zahoor Khan claimed figures of 2-8, including a brilliant wicket-maiden against Lendl Simmons, to restrict the Warriors to 107/5, but – despite Shane Watson’s 75* from 35 balls – they only posted 97/3 in reply.
