THU vs HUR Probable Best Players of the Match
Probable Best Batter: Mitchell Owen
The 23-year-old has got off to a couple of blazing starts in the previous matches. He would be high on confidence and would be aiming to capitalise on the start.
Probable Best Bowler: Nathan Ellis
The skipper has been in fine bowling nick since the past few games. Despite not being among the wickets that often, he has been economical. A similar performance could be expected.
