– Fakhar Zaman looks safest captain choice as he might go big again after getting out at duck during the last match.
– Can go with anyone from Mohammad Rizwan or Shan Masood as VC considering their current lethal form with bat.
– Philip Salt might be a decent credit saver punt as he’s opening up the innings and handling wk duties also.
– Didn’t took Shaheen Afridi and Imran Tahir due to credit issues, however expecting Fawad and Dahani to balance the fantasy points.
– Hafeez and Khushdil are must picks considering their two down batting and atleast a couple of overs with bowl.

– Dropped Mohammad Rizwan who might not go big in consecutive innings which will help in managing credit issues.
– Khushdil Shah might be another good VC choice considering his two down batting and a couple of overs with bowl.
– Tim David will be a crucial pick especially if any of the opener depart early as he might get promoted to bat up the order in that scenario.
