G Maxwell showed in the last game why IPL franchises still spend million dollars on him. He smashed 70 runs off just 31 balls with 8 fours and 5 sixes. He is a genuine match-winner and when he gets going, he kills the game. He averages 32.61 in 63 T20Is and has a mind-boggling strike-rate of 158.79.
A Finch made a stellar comeback to form as he scored 69 runs from 44 balls with 8 fours and 2 sixes. He can be devastating at the top of the order and hence is a must-have player in the side. He has made 2231 runs in 69 T20I innings at an average of 37.18 and has a strike-rate of 153.33.
D Conway made 38 runs from 37 balls and although he failed to convert it into a big score, he has the potential to do that as did in the first T20I by making 99 not out. He averages an impressive 62.60 in T20I cricket with 313 runs and 3 fifties in 7 innings. He has a strike-rate of 153.43.
I Sodhi can go for a few runs, but he is a genuine wicket-taker. He has picked 7 wickets in this series so far and has claimed a wicket in every game.
