Probable Best Performers from DUR vs CT
Probable best batter: Heinrich Klaasen
The experienced wicketkeeper-batter has rediscovered his form in the ongoing SA20 tournament and will be itching to get back to the field. He has amassed 259 runs in the seven outings so far and sits pretty in fourth place in the run-scoring charts for the inaugural edition of the tournament.
Probable best bowler: Rashid Khan
Cape Town skipper Rashid Khan has not been able to maintain his usual high standards in the competition so far, managing just eight wickets in seven matches. Despite a lackluster showing in the competition, the mercurial Afghan cricketer is still a threat to the batters with his deceptive bowling skills.
