The Big Cricket League, after two weeks of power-packed cricket, has now reached its business end. We have two finalists: on one hand, the Western giants, Mumbai Marines, and on the other, the South champs, Southern Spartans, who are set to clash in the inaugural BCL final.
Overall, the key players of both teams have performed exceptionally well for their respective franchises, and there will be even higher expectations from them in this upcoming game. But who are the big superstars with the potential to grab everyone’s attention in the BCL final? Take a look!
Players to watch out for in BCL final
Lendl Simmons
One of the most destructive batters we have seen in big matches in the past, a great example being how he thumped India’s bowling in the 2016 T20 World Cup, where he scored 82 runs and single-handedly took the game away from India in the semi-finals. Although expecting such a performance again may not be realistic, the amount of experience he has makes him a potential danger man. Playing for Mumbai Marines, he could be a match-winner for them this season.
Irfan Pathan
The leader of the Mumbai Marines and surely one of the major players for them, with his all-round ability and recent experience of playing in numerous T20 leagues, making him one of the big names. We’ve seen how this left-hander has come out on top every time in crunch games, often taking the game away from many giant opponents. We can expect the BCL final to be a big stage for him, and his recent form has been solid, which is why there is so much anticipation to see how he takes on Southern Spartans.
Suresh Raina
The big man of Southern Spartans, and one of the most consistent names in T20 cricket, popularly known as Mr. IPL, Suresh Raina has showcased his class in this tournament as well. In recent matches, he has scored 21, 62, 24, 49, and 25 runs. While these are solid contributions,but more big runs are needed, and Suresh Raina is known for delivering in big games, just like the other two names mentioned. He also has the ability to finish matches, which is no secret to anyone.
