Fantasy Picks

Captain – K Mayers

Opening batter and new ball bowler. He has the most opportunity to make marks on the board. Above all, his ability to score bigger runs makes him the favorite.

Vice-captain – A Joseph

One of the lethal fast bowlers in international cricket. May get used to the bouncy nature of the wicket. His wicket-taking ability is a proven one.

Wicketkeeper – N Pooran, M Cross

Cross is an opening batter who can make good use of powerplay overs. At the same time, Pooran is an obvious option in T20 cricket, especially against a team like Scotland.

Batters – R Berrington, B King, G Munsey

R Berrington is a decent batter who can bowl a decent number of overs. 

Currently, B King is in great form, and the Australian wicket will help him continue the form. 

G Munsey is a top-order batter who bats with a better strike rate and has the habit of performing consistently. And in the last four games, he has been over 20 runs.

All-rounders – J Holder, M Leask, K Mayers.

With his high arm action and wide variation, J Holder holds the topmost chance to be the best bowler of the match. 

M Leask is an off-spinner who will have a bigger duty against the left-handers-dominated West Indian team.

Bowlers – A Joseph, B Wheel, O McCoy.

B Wheel is a new ball bowler with English county experience. Can be an asset on any given day. 

O McCoy is an exponent at slower deliveries, which is the most fruitful way of getting wickets in the shorter format. 

Other good options for the captain slot would be: Jason Holder for his multidimensional role, Obed McCoy or Alzarri Joseph for their match-winning ability.
