Dream11 Fantasy Team
Wicket-keepers
As we have always mentioned, wicket-keepers are good value. So, we have selected both Sarfaraz Ahmed and Nazir. Sarfaraz has batted consistently well in the first leg with innings of 54, 81, and 40 against IU, PZ and LQ respectively. In the only match he played against QG, Nazir made 34.
<Batsmen
Talat has scored runs and bowled a bit to underscore his overall value. His performance against KK was brilliant, with 42 runs and bowling returns of 1/25 to show for his effort. Gayle needs no introduction but for the record, he had innings of 39 and 68 in the matches against KK and LQ that he played in the first leg. Munro’s international T20I record that includes 3 tons and 11 half-tons and a strike rate of 155-plus in addition to an average of 31-plus makes him an automatic choice in our Dream11. Usman Khan who made 81 against QG (his only match) in the first leg is our other batsman.
