Fantasy Tips of The Day
Rovman Powell is the leading run-getter (287 at 57) for Dubai in this edition, and has been a part of the Ultimate Team in his last 5 games.
Meanwhile, Alex Hales is the tournament’s highest run-scorer (438 at 73), including 3 half-centuries in his last 4 outings at Dubai.
When these teams met earlier in the competition, Adam Zampa (3 for 16) and Colin Munro (40 off 32) were the captain and vice-captain of the Ultimate Team respectively. Also, Zampa is also the only bowler to have taken a hat-trick of three-fors in this league.
Only Naveen-ul-Haq has managed to bag a five-wicket haul at Dubai in 9 games this season.
It has been a rough time for Rohan Mustafa lately. In this tournament, he has already been dismissed for a single-digit figure on 5 occasions. With the ball, he has managed only 3 wickets in 8 games.
2 out of 3 fifties registered in the last 3 games at the venue have belonged to openers.
