AR: Abhishek Sharma, Axar Patel

BOWL: Lockie Ferguson, Jacob Duffy, Matt Henry, Bhuvneshwar Kumar

View Player Names And Roles

WK: Devon Conway, Sanju Samson

BAT: Finn Allen, Bevon Jacobs, Shreyas Iyer

AR: Abhishek Sharma, Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell

BOWL: Lockie Ferguson, Arshdeep Singh, Jacob Duffy

Captain: Finn Allen · Vice-Captain: Glenn Phillips

WK: Tim Seifert, Sanju Samson

BAT: Shreyas Iyer, Finn Allen, Naman Dhir

AR: Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mitchell Santner

BOWL: Arshdeep Singh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry

Captain: Arshdeep Singh · Vice-Captain: Lockie Ferguson

WK: Devon Conway, Sanju Samson

BAT: Shreyas Iyer, Bevon Jacobs, Finn Allen

AR: Mitchell Santner, Michael Bracewell, Axar Patel

BOWL: Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh

Captain: Mitchell Santner · Vice-Captain: Axar Patel

Use as a contrarian script if a high-scoring game again reaches the last five overs.

View Player Names And Roles

WK: Tim Seifert, Sanju Samson

BAT: Naman Dhir, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Bevon Jacobs

AR: Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dube, Glenn Phillips

BOWL: Mayank Yadav, Adam Milne, Jacob Duffy

Captain: Naman Dhir · Vice-Captain: Bevon Jacobs
