Probable Top Performers from DCP vs GG

Probable Best Batter: Pathum Nissanka

Probable Best Bowler: Waqar Salamkheil

Waqar Salamkheil's two-wicket haul against Desert Vipers went in vain after his team lost their opening match. While Salamkheil leaked over 18 runs, he picked two crucial wickets to get his team back in the contest. However, he will look to bowl with the same intensity in the upcoming game and add more wickets to his tally.
