Fantasy Tips
Captain: S Hasan
S Hasan’s little cameo with the bat in the last game would have given him confidence, which will fetch back his natural game. Moreover, it would have rubbed off on his bowling ability too.
Vice-captain / Wicket Keeper: M Rizwan
M Rizwan never misses showcasing his skill in important games. Especially against a bowling attack like Bangladesh, where only T Ahmed seems good, M Rizwan would be ready to roar.
Batters: B Azam, I Ahmed, A Hossain, N Hossain
A Hossain and N Hossain are fresh, and the opponent teams wouldn’t have analyzed them much. They both will be critical factors for Bangladesh.
The main batters of Pakistan, B Azam and I Ahmed, are the most suited for the Adelaide conditions. Especially with the small square boundaries, B Azam will be keen to make his mark.
All-rounders: S Khan, S Hasan
S Khan’s wrist spin will have a massive advantage in the ground where the straight boundaries are too large. Also, his batting looked promising in the last game; he will try to use that flow in this game too.
Bowlers: S Afridi, M Wasim, H Rauf, T Ahmed
All these four pacers we picked are the ones who use the current Australian conditions well. They are unpredictable and worth the pick.
