WI vs BAN Risky Captaincy Choices:

Mahmudullah:

The experienced campaigner is returning to T20Is after a long time and should not be risked as a captain at least in this fixture.

Hayden Walsh Jr:

Although he has done well in the white-ball cricket, Hayden has not been consistent with his wicket-taking abilities. Hence, it would be a risk to pick him as the captain of your fantasy team.

Players you should avoid:

Mehidy Hasan/ Nasum Ahmed:

One of the spinners are likely to feature in this game, but should be avoided due to limited appearances in T20Is.
