8.5
C

Arun KA CG | ALL

CG’s Arun KA scored 38 runs off 37 balls in the last game against AKS; he was the only batter for his side to cross the 30+ mark as an individual score. He can also be selected as one of the captaincy picks in the fantasy team for this game.

9

Basil Thampi KBT | BOWL

KBT skipper and star bowler, Basil Thampi displayed a brilliant bowling show in the last game, scalping 2 wickets at the cost of just 10 runs in the 3 overs he bowled.

8.5

Anuj Jotin KBT | BAT

KBT’s Anuj Jotin scored was one of the two batters [alongside Jobin Joby] who performed a bit with the bat for his side. He can be picked as one of the ‘top picks’ in the dream11 team for his game.

7.5

Nikhil Thottath KBT | WK

KBT's wicketkeeper-batter Nikhil Thottath can be selected as one of the budget picks considering his importance, both with the bat and behind the wickets.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

8

Ibnul Afthab

CG | BOWL

CG’s Ibnul Afthab could scalp only 1 wicket in his 3 overs in the last game against AKS. It would be a wise move to avoid him from the fantasy team for this match.

8

Mohammed Enaan

KBT | ALL

KBT bowler Mohammed Enaan failed to impress with the ball in the last game, scalping only 1 wicket in 3 overs. He can also be ignored while picking the dream11 team for this game.
