9. Kamrul Islam Rabbi
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.

1. Mushfiqur Rahim
2. Anamul Haque
3. Soumya Sarkar(VC)

10. Shiraz Ahmed
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.
