6. Mohammad Hafeez(VC)
7. James Faulkner
8. Amad Butt
9. Shaheen Afridi
10. Wahab Riaz
11. Rashid Khan
– Malik and Hafeez looks safest C/VC choices considering their H2H matches averages of 30 & 56 respectively.
– Haider Ali will be a must have pick especially while batting first as he has averaged 25 in 4 H2H innings.
– Dropped Fakhar Zaman as he has continuous failures against the opponent.
– Tim David and Sohail Akhtar might prove to be good credit saver punts as they did well during the last match.
– Amad Butt can give decent fantasy points as he’s expected to bat at 4-5 down and bowl a couple of overs too.
– Can take Haris Rauf in place of Tim David only if Qalandars opts to bowl first.
Small League Combination 2 –
1. Ben Dunk
2. Shoaib Malik
3. David Miller
4. Haider Ali
5. Sohail Akhtar
6. Mohammad Hafeez
7. James Faulkner
8. Amad Butt
9. Shaheen Afridi(C)
10. Wahab Riaz(VC)
11. Rashid Khan
– Shaheen and Wahab might be good punt C/VCs considering their strike rates of 12 & 18 in H2H innings and pace favoured surface at Abu Dhabi.
– Dropped Kamran Akmal as Shaheen Afridi might take him early considering his struggle against him.
– Expecting a good knock from David Miller especially if both the openers of Peshawar departs early.
– Rashid looks another safe captain choice as he will definitely get 1-2 wickets and can score some quick runs with the bat at down the order.
– Can take punt on Fakhar by replacing Sohail Akhtar with Muhammad Faizan if Qalandars opts to bat first.
