** Due to Aamer Yamin’s bad performance in second last game he was not given any bowling in the last game. Also Nabi is not getting much bowling in this tournament. He may bowl today one or two overs at the start because Fakar Zaman being a left hander.[remember this while making team]

Daniel Christian & Arshad Iqbal will bowl in the middle.

  1. Fantasy Team With Possible C/VC Solutions:

Wicket-Keeper-Joe Clarke

Batsmen- Babar Azam, Joe Denly, Fakar Zaman, Colin Ingram

All-Rounders- M.Hafeez

Bowlers- Haris Rauf, Saheen Afridi, Arshad Iqbal, Mohammad Amir

11th spot-

  • You can go with Sohail Akhtar for the last spot as he has an awesome head to head record. In that case you can replace Mohammad Amir in the bowling section & take Daniel Christian in place of him.
  • If you take Sharjeel Khan then drop Ingram.
  • And also you can drop any bowlers and take an all-rounder like Christian or Nabi. (risky choice) .

Small leagues C/VC Choice- Hafeez, Babar Azam

GL C/VC choices- Fakar Zaman, Joe Clarke, Joe Denly, Haris Rauf, Sohail Akhtar
