10. Mujeeb Ur Rahman
11. Taskin Ahmed/Shoriful Islam
– Shakib Al Hasan looks safest captain choice considering his full ten overs with bowl and one down batting.
– Mohammad Nabi might be a good VC choice as he’s expected to bat at middle order and bowl atleast 7-8 overs.
– Taking punt on Mehidy Hasan Miraz who will be crucial with his ten overs of spin at this venue and can come handy with bat at down the order.
– Take anyone from Shoriful Islam or Taskin Ahmed as both are available in pretty decent credits.
– Rashid Khan and Mujeeb are must picks as pitch at Chattogram is expected to favour spinners.
– Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das are other good picks for SL combinations.

10. Rashid Khan(VC)
11. Mujeeb Ur Rahman
– Rashid Khan looks another safe VC considering his wicket taking abilities especially at these kind of surface and handy batting at down the order.
– Dropped Tamim Iqbal as he’s available in higher credits so his failure might make this combination do well.

– Riaz Hassan might be a decent credit saver punt as he’s expected to open the innings and available in just 8.0 credits.
