TFG Fantasy Pundit: Utility cricketers from both sides hold key for this round

Overview

For this round between Pakistan and Ireland, we suggest you should pick the utility cricketers. Both teams have players who can do a bit of batting and bowling. On the weather front, some scattered showers are expected to hit the ground.

Probable 11 for the round 

PAK- Azhar Ali, Mohammad Hafeez/Sharjeel Khan, Mohammad Rizwan, Shoaib Malik, Babar Azam, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz, Umar Gul, Yasir Shah 

IRE- William Porterfield, Ed Joyce, Paul Stirling, Kevin O’Brien, Gary Wilson, Stuart Poynter, Nail O’Brien, Barry McCarthy, Tim Murtagh, Peter Chase, Andy McBrine/Boyd Rankin

Players who cannot be ignored 

Mohammad Amir- If there is anything on offer for the seamers; he will make life difficult for the Irish. 

Shoaib Malik- A terrific ODI batsman who can play as per the situation. Also, he can be called upon to roll his arm over. 

Kevin O’Brien- A genuine all-rounder who is likely to bowl all 10 overs and his explosive batting is good enough to win games. 

Dark Horses 

Paul Stirling- He might be demoted down the order, but that shouldn’t stop you from picking this dangerous batsman. Remember, he bowls too. 

Babar Azam- He impressed early in the year in New Zealand and has come across as a reliable batsman.

TFG Pundit XI: Azhar Ali, Mohammad Rizwan, Shoaib Malik, Babar Azam, Mohammad Amir(C), Wahab Riaz, Paul Stirling, Kevin O’Brien(VC), Gary Wilson, Barry McCarthy, Peter Chase
