11. Usman Qadir
– Fakhar & Vince might be good C VC picks as they have looked in good touch this season and has also averaged above 35 at the venue & H2H matches.
– Dropped Lynn again as his form hasn’t been very good while he has struggled to score runs in H2H matches too.
– Rilee Rossouw & Sohail Akhtar will be good punts as they have averaged above 25 at venue & H2H matches too.
– David Wiese might be another good punt if top order of Qalandars departs early. He has averaged 63 at both venue & H2H matches with the bat and taken wickets at an average of below 20.
– Usman Qadir might be a good pick as he has best strike rate amongst the whole squad of Sultans in H2H matches & at venue too.

10. Haris Rauf
11. Sohail Tanvir
– Hafeez & Rizwan might be other good C VC picks considering their current top form in this format.
– Dunk might be a good punt especially while chasing as he has done well while doing so.
– Braithwaite & Afridi can give good points considering their hitting at down the order & full 4 overs with the bowl.
– Expecting at least 25-30 points from Tanvir as he’s going wicket less from the last couple of matches.

– Expecting at least a decent knock from Akhtar considering his good average with the bat at venue & H2H matches.
– Samit Patel might be a good GL pick in the absence of Rashid as he can get to bowl a couple of overs & score decent runs too with the bat.
