– Going heavy on Team Abu Dhabi as they’re expected to win this encounter comfortably.

– Marchant de Lange might be a decent VC choice considering his consistency to take wickets by bowling in death overs.
– Taking punt on Colin Ingram who can score decent runs by batting at two down.
– Dasun Shanaka and Ravi Bopara can give decent fantasy points with the help of bat and ball.
– Take anyone from Naveen Ul Haq or Fidel Edwards.

11. Dhananjaya Lakshan/Roman Walker
– Taking punt on Paul Stirling as VC since he might go big after failing in last two matches.
– Dropped Bhanuka Rajapaksa to take Angelo Perera as Rajapaksa might not go big in two consecutive innings.
– Can take Curtis Campher at the place of Dasun Shanaka especially while bowling first.
– Jamie Overton can be another decent pick as he’s batting at middle order bowling 1-2 overs too.
– Can take anyone from Dhananjaya Lakshan or Roman Walker as both are bowling two overs.
