Probable Best Batter: Shikhar Dhawan
Shikhar Dhawan, one of India's most celebrated openers, has been in stellar form in this season, leading his side from the front. He also played a captain's knock in the semifinal, scoring 71 runs off 46 balls, including seven fours and two sixes. The Dubai-based franchise will be banking on their skipper for a memorable knock in the grand finale, which can help them lift the silverware.
Probable Best Bowler: Piyush Chawla
Piyush Chawla has been a revelation in the tournament so far. In six matches, he has accounted for 13 wickets. Even in the semifinal clash, he was clinical with the ball, claiming three important wickets, while giving away only 25 runs. The former India international will play a key role in the middle overs with his wicket-taking ability.
