In the first encounter between these franchises, Theunis de Bruyn (53 off 47) and Kusal Mendis (37 off 26 and a catch) were the captain and vice-captain of the Ultimate Team respectively.
Bjorn Fortuin, along with his consistent wicket-taking, has provided bonus points for economy in 4 games. Overall, he has collected 13 wickets with an economy of 6.2 RPO.
