– Moeen Ali might be a good captain choice as he’s expected to bat at two down and bowl a couple of overs too.
– Mustafizur Rahman might be a good VC choice considering his excellent numbers with bowl at this venue.
– Didn’t took Faf Du Plessis as he’s available in high credits and might not go big at this slow spin favoured surface.
– Taking punt on Imrul Kayes who did well during the last season and possess experience of playing more than 60 matches at this venue.
– Ravi Bopara might give decent fantasy points as he’s expected to bat top of the order and bowl part time overs.
– Mosaddek Hossain might be a decent punt as he’s expected to bat at 4-5 down and bowl atleast 2-3 overs.
