Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Shan Masood
PAK | BAT
Shan Masood has struggled in the previous few matches in this format and can be avoided for this match.
Neil Wagner
NZ | BOWL
Neil Wagner could pick up just 1 wicket in the last game and did not bowl much in the fourth innings. In these conditions it is better to leave him out.
