Fantasy Tips

Batsman– Young opener from Afghanistan Hazratullah Zazai is among the top-ranked players in this form of cricket and can be selected if picked in the XI. Faf Du Plessis is a seasoned star and is an automatic pick while Haider Ali is known for his big hits. So he can get points if he has a good day. Also, either Shoaib Malik or David Miller can be picked as they provide solidity.

All-rounders– Andre Russell is a game-changer both with the bat and ball. So he can be an automatic pick along with his fellow countryman Fabien Allen as the all-rounder.

Wicket-keeper– Azam Khan is a designated keeper in the Dream 11 and is a lethal batsman in the middle-order.

Bowlers– Quetta’s Zahid Mahmood is a genuine wicket-taker and along with him, pacer Mohammad Hasnain who has looked impressive can be picked. From Peshawar, skipper Wahab Riaz is a great option as he is one of the experienced fast-bowlers in this competition. Amad Butt who can also score few runs in the lower order can be picked.

Team for fantasy: Hazratullah Zazai, Faf Du Plessis(VC), Azam Khan, Haider Ali, Shoaib Malik/ David Miller, Andre Russell(C), Fabien Allen, Mohammad Hasnain, Zahid Mahmood, Wahab Riaz, Amad Butt
