Fantasy Tips
Batsmen: James Vince, the Southern Brave captain is one of the 1st choice players in the fantasy XI given his recent. The Brave opener Paul Sterling is a dangerous batsman and has already created an impact in the few games he has played. The Ireland opener can bowl as well. Jason Roy is an obvious pick in the fantasy XI with his reputation in this form of the game. The experienced Colin Ingram can be the 4th batsman.
Wicket-Keepers: Quinton De Kock of Southern Brave has turned the fortunes of the team since coming in and should be a definite inclusion in the fantasy XI. Alex Davies is the other keeper who can be selected.
All-rounders: Sunil Narine bats at the top of the order for the Invincibles and is a wicket-taking bowler who bowls his full quota of balls. Chris Jordan is the other all-rounder pick in the fantasy XI.
Bowlers: Tabraiz Shamsi is the no.1 ranked spinner in the world in the format and the experienced Tom Curran is the other bowler from the Invincibles. J Lintott is the last pick in the fantasy section.
Captaincy Choices
Fantasy Team: James Vince, Quinton De Kock(C), Paul Sterling, Jason Roy, Alex Davies, Colin Ingram, Sunil Narine(VC), Chris Jordan, Tom Curran, Tabraiz Shamsi, J Lintott
Captain: Quinton De Kock
Quinton De Kock is one of the best batsmen in this tournament and is a great choice to be the captain of the side.
Vice-Captain: Sunil Narine
Sunil Narine can potentially face many balls coming at the top and is a genuine wicket-taker which makes him a suitable candidate for being the vice-captain.
