One of the most improved players from last season, Wildermuth was devastating in his last game with both bat and ball. He scored a 11-ball 31 with four sixes and picked up three wickets in the last game. Before coming into BBL 10, he scored a century and picked up four wickets in the three-day tour game against India A.

Strikers opener Weatherald has been in good form recording scores of 48-ball unbeaten 68 and 15-ball 27 in the last couple of games. Ever since Weatherald's debut for the Strikers in the 2016-17 season, nobody has scored more runs for them than him. He has made 1331 runs in 51 innings at a strike rate of 130.49.

Chris Lynn: Lynn was at his best in the last game when he scored a 44-ball 69 against Sydney Thunder. He was the top scorer for Heat last season, with 387 runs in 14 innings at a strike rate of 148.84. Nobody has hit more sixes than Lynn in BBL history - 152 in 77 innings.

Alex Carey: Carey started off BBL 10 in fine fashion with a 40-ball 55 to help side defeat Hobart Hurricanes. Since 2019, he has been the second-highest run-scorer in middle overs, with 353 runs at an average of 58.83 and a strike rate of 130.74.

Rashid Khan: Khan has picked up a wicket in each of his three games so far, but is expected to make a bigger impact against a side that struggles against spin. He has picked up eight wickets in five games at an average of 14.13 and an economy of 5.65.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman: Mujeeb did not enjoy a good season last year, picking up only three wickets in six games. However, in CPL 2020 he regained his form by picking up the second-most number of wickets in the tournament with 16 wickets in 11 games at an average of 13.56 and an economy of 5.29.

Daniel Worrall: One of the best swing bowlers in the tournament, Worrall gets crucial wickets for Strikers early in the powerplay. He has picked up four wickets in three games and can get you points with his batting too. He scored a 39-ball unbeaten 62 in his first game of the season.
