Fantasy Cricket: Dream11 tips for 1st T20-- Afghanistan v Zimbabwe

Overview 

Zimbabwe and Afghanistan will lock horns in the opening game of the three-match T20 series today in Sharjah. The weather is set clear for a full game and the wicket is always going to assist the slow bowlers. However, the small field could also encourage some big hitting. 

Both teams have some new faces for this series. While Zimbabwe have got the experienced pacer Brian Vitori in their squad, C Mpofu has gone back home. Also, Ryan Burl gets back into the team. 

For Zimbabwe, H Masakadza and S Mire are likely to open the batting, while the bowling could fall on the shoulders of Cremer, Chatara and Muzarbani. S Raza and M Waller will be the all-rounders. 

For Afghanistan, Rashid Khan returns after his successful stint in the Big Bash. He will lead the spin department along with young sensation Mujeeb Zadran.

As far as batting goes, it remains to be seen how they line-up, besides M Shehzad who makes a comeback after his ban to the top of the batting. Shenwar, Ghani and N Zadran could well be the key with the willow. 

This round could be tricky for fantasy cricket as there is no real clarity on the possible playing 11. However, we still feel the below team could get to the park. 

Probable 11

AFG- Shehzad, Ghani, Shafiqullah/Sadiq, Stanikzai, Shenwari, N Zadran, Nabi, G Naib, Rashid, Shapoor, Mujeeb 

ZIM- Mire, Masakadza, Taylor, Ervine, Waller, Raza, Cremer, Moor/Burl, Jarvis, Chatara, Muzarbani/Vitori
