Death Overs- Mohammad Amir+ Waqas Maqsood

*** It is not certain which player among Imad Wasim or Mohammad Nabi will bowl in a certain match. In the previous match Wasim did not bowl a single over. Today the opposition has a left hander at the start of the innings in Inam ul Haq. So Wasim may not bowl at the start today. Nabi may start. Thereafter all the batsmen except Rutherford down the order are right handers, so Wasim may bowl in the middle.

  1. Fantasy Team With Possible C/VC Options:

Wicket-Keeper- Joe Clarke/ Kamran Akmal

Batsmen- Babar Azam, Inam-ul-Haq, Tom Kohler Cadmore, Sharjeel Khan

All-Rounders- Daniel Christian, Mohammad Nabi, Shoaib Malik

Bowlers- Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Amir, Saqib Mehmood

Small League C/VC Options- Babar Azam, Tom Kohler Cadmore, Inam ul Haq

Grand League C/VC Options- Wahab Riaz, Kamran Akmal, colin Ingram, M.Nabi, D. Christian, Saqib Mehmood

  1. Fantasy Talk:
  • Kamran Akmal has good record against most of the teams. But in this tournament he has still not fired. This makes him a punt pick for even C/VC in today’s game.
  • Sharjeel Khan is scoring runs in all the matches. But he has been given a life in all the matches. His simple catches are dropped in all the matches. You can drop him in some of your teams.
  • Colin Ingram is silent with the bat till now. If the Peshawar bowlers perform well, Ingram will once again get an opportunity to bat early. Let’s see if he scores. Do try him in few of your teams.
