Pitch Report
A flat track with lot of swing on offer beckons both sets of sides who look to outwit each other. The previous game here saw Australia defend 307, which could be enough considering the overcast conditions at the ground.
Fantasy Tips and Suggestions
Wicket-keepers: All three of Mushfiqur Rahim, Shai Hope and Nicolas Pooran are decent form with a fifty to their name in this World Cup. Given the nature of the pitch and their batting position, two or all of them should suffice in the fantasy team with the balance of the team kept in mind.
Batsmen: Chris Gayle and Tamim Iqbal are great options to have in your side with both of them for a big score in this tournament. The in-form Soumya Sarkar is also a viable candidate given his explosive approach at the top of the order while one of Shimron Hetmyer or Evin Lewis should suffice from the West Indian roster.
Allrounders: Andre Russell and Shakib Al Hasan are must have players given the importance and responsibility they carry around their shoulders for their respective countries. Both of them are in decent form and should score some points as well for the fantasy contest while Jason Holder is also an able replacement if one were to draft in another player instead of the aforementioned duo.
Bowlers: Mustafizur Rahman has a good record against the Windies and could pick a wicket or two alongside the likes of Mohammad Saifuddin and Mehidy Hasan, who already have a couple of wickets to their name in this World Cup. Along with them, one of Shannon Gabriel or Sheldon Cottrell should suffice as the final bowling option in the fantasy team.
Captain: Tamim Iqbal and Chris Gayle are the frontrunners with a flat track on offer. With their record in England conditions also being note-worthy, both of them are more than viable options alongside usual suspects Shakib Al Hasan and Andre Russell.
