TO ALL YOU Fantasy Cricket Addicts out there...
We at The Fan Garage have launched our own Fantasy cricket helpline -- TFG Fantasy Pundit.
The experts from our editorial team will guide you to pick the best fantasy team and assist you in your quest to emerge victorious.
Here’s our fantasy pundit column for BAN v PAK game.
OVERVIEW
Both teams are coming off a win from their previous game and barring injuries they unlikely to tinker with their winning combination.
But keep in mind, Bangladesh’s strike bowler Mustafizur Rahman has picked up a side strain and won't feature in this round. However, their attacking opener Tamim Iqbal has come into the side as a replacement.
Rather than going for specialists, try picking those utility cricketers in your fantasy XI.
Here’s our probable 11 that could take to the field
BANGLADESH- Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shabbir Rahman, Mahmadullah, Nurul Hasan, Mashrafe Mortaza, Taskin Ahmed, Al-Amin Hossain, Abu Haider
PAKISTAN- Mohammad Hafeez, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik, Sharjeel Khan, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Sami, Umar Akmal, Mohammad Irfan, Imad Wasim/Wahab Riaz
Players who cannot be ignored for this round
Shabbir- He has been the only man leading by example with the willow for the hosts. At the moment, he looks in sublime touch and this is no time to ignore him.
Malik- The reliable middle-order batsman has found form in the last game and would be keen on making the most going ahead. His tweakers can get wickets too. That is seen as a bonus in fantasy cricket.
Amir- He has arguably been the best bowler in this Asia Cup so far and it would be a foolish move to leave him out from fantasy teams.
Dark horses
Mahmadullah- He has quietly gone about his business with both bat and ball. He might not be an in your face cricketer, but here what matters is how your fantasy scorecard looks. Pick him.
Mohammad Sami- After making his comeback into the national side, this pacer has been amongst the wickets. He will open the bowling and if there is anything on offer, he will exploit it.
TFG Pundit XI: Akmal, Rahim, Shakib(C), Hafeez, Madmadullah, Malik (VC), Amir, S Rahman, Sami, Mortaza, A Hossain
Happy Hunting!!!
