10. Khaled Ahmed
11. Nazmul Islam/Shiraz Ahmed
– Thisara Perera looks safest captain choice considering his middle order batting and full overs with bowl.
– Taking punt on Mosaddek Hossain as VC who’s batting at 2-3 down and bowling atleast a couple of overs.
– Going with Colin Ingram at the place of Andre Fletcher who might not go big in consecutive innings.
– Expecting atleast a decent knock from Lendl Simmons who’s due to play one from last 3-4 innings.
– Muktar Ali might be another decent punt considering his middle order batting and a couple of overs with bowl.
– Can take Shiraz Ahmed at the place of Nazmul Islam especially while bowling in first innings.

11. Khaled Ahmed
– Soumya Sarkar might be another good VC choice considering his opening batting order and part time overs with bowl.
– Anamul Haque might be a decent pick as he can give some good fantasy points with the help of bat and gloves.
– Can take anyone from Muktar Ali or Sohag Gazi as both are playing almost similar roles.
– Namzul Islam can be picked at the place of Khaled Ahmed especially while bowling in second innings.
– Mahedi Hasan and Kamrul Islam Rabbi are other good C/VC choices for SL combinations.
