– Shan Masood and Rizwan looks safest C/VC choices considering their current top forms with bat.
– Expecting atleast decent knocks from Jason Roy and Vince after getting out early in last inning.
– Didn’t took Will Smeed as he might not go big in two consecutive innings.
– Sohail Tanvir can be picked at the place of Sarfaraz Ahmed especially while bowling in first innings.
– Khushdil Shah and Jason Roy are other good choices for C/VC in SL combination.

– Going heavy on Multan Sultans as they’re the favourites to win this encounter.
– Khushdil Shah looks another safe VC choice considering his middle order batting and a couple of overs with bowl.
– Taking punt on Sohail Tanvir who can come handy with bat and bowling in death overs for Quetta Gladiators.
– Rumman Raees can be picked at the place of Imran Tahir especially while bowling first.
– Must try Tim David as C/VC in 10-20-339 members league considering his current lethal form with bat.
