Rutherford has been a vital finisher for the West Indies in this tournament. He recently smashed an unbeaten 76, which included a barrage of seven sixes in a single innings. His raw power and timing make him one of the most dangerous middle-order hitters.

Kishan has been the standout power-hitter for India so far. In his most recent outing against Namibia, he hammered 7 sixes during a quickfire fifty. His fearless style at the start of the innings has given India a significant advantage in the power play.
