Player Picks
Mehidy Hasan Miraz BAN | ALL
Star Bangladesh all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz has been in a brilliant run of form with the bat in his last 10 Test matches. He has scored 614 runs with a decent batting average of 38.38. He is also the leading run-scorer for Bangladesh in the last 10 games. Besides that, he has also picked up 31 wickets with the ball in these 10 games, registering an amazing economy rate of 3.41.
Blessing Muzarabani ZIM | BOWL
Star Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani has scalped 35 wickets in the last 8 Tests he has played. He has recorded an outstanding economy rate of 2.93, being the leading wicket-taker for his side in last couple of matches.
Sean Williams ZIM | ALL
Zimbabwe’s batting all-rounder Sean Williams is enjoying an amazing batting form in the last four games in the longest format of the game. He has scored 488 runs in the last four games with an unbelievable batting average of 81.33. He can also be selected as one of the ‘captaincy picks’ in this game’s Dream11 team.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Tanzim Hasan Sakib
BAN | BOWL
Bangladesh’s pace-bowling all-rounder Tanzim Hasan Sakib hasn’t been in an expected run of form with the ball in the last couple of games. It would be a better move to avoid him while picking this game’s Dream11 team.
Nyasha Mayavo
ZIM | WK
Zimbabwe’s wicketkeeper-batter Nyasha Mayavo failed to live up to the expectations in his previous First-Class appearance, scoring only 7 and 32 runs in the first and second innings earlier this month. He can also be avoided from this game’s fantasy team.
