9. Blessing Muzarabani
10. Usman Qadir
11. Shahnawaz Dahani
– Going heavy on Multan Sultans as they’re the favourites to win this encounter.
– Rizwan and Masood looks safest C/VC choices considering their current lethal form with bat and good numbers at venue and H2H matches.
– Taking punt on Kamran Akmal who has done decent at this venue and can give some good fantasy points with the help of bat and gloves.
– Can take anyone from Tim David or Charles at the place of Muzarabani if Multan gets to bat in first innings.
– Shoaib Malik and Imran Tahir are other good C/VC choices for SL combinations.

11. Usman Qadir
– Khushdil Shah looks another safe VC choice considering his couple of overs with bowl and middle order batting.
– Taking punt on Wahab Riaz who might remain amongst the wickets after failing so far in this season.
– Anwar Ali might be a decent credit saver pick as he can come handy with bat and bowling atleast 2-3 overs also.
– Expecting a top knock from Haider Ali especially while batting first at this flat track.
– Saqib Mahmood can be picked at the place of Usman Qadir especially while bowling in first innings.
– Must try Hazratullah Zazai as C/VC in 10-20-339 members league especially while chasing.

– Wahab Riaz looks an open captain choice as he’s due to take wickets in this season which might come in this match.
– Anwar Ali might be a good VC choice as he can come handy with bat if a couple of top order batters doesn’t do well and bowling 2-3 overs too.
– Expecting atleast a couple of wickets from Saqib Mahmood especially while bowling first.
– Can take Sherfane Rutherford at the place of Haider Ali who can come good with bat if gets to bat last 4-5 overs.
– Johnson Charles might be a good GL pick as he might get promoted to bat up the order in this match.
