When these teams met earlier in the tournament, Alex Hales (99 off 57) and Shimron Hetmyer (70 off 35 and a catch) were the captain and vice-captain of the Ultimate Team respectively.
It has been a hat-trick of appearances in the Ultimate Team for Chris Lynn. He also smashed 71 off 42 in his last game at Dubai.
