2. Nathan Ellis (8.5 credits) – Ellis was Hurricanes’ most economical bowler in the last game, with a spell of 0/14 in the win over Renegades. Overall in the competition, he has taken 8 wickets at 7.81 runs per over from 7 games.

3. Sandeep Lamichhane (8.5 credits) – Lamichhane showed signs of returning to his best by taking 3 wickets off his 3.5 overs for 32 runs. It augurs well for the Hurricanes, who would hope that the Nepal wristspinner finds spring in his stride after that outing.
