Fantasy Tips of The Day
In his last 8 T20 games at Abu Dhabi, Kieron Pollard has accumulated 254 runs at 64 including the highest score of 86.
For the last 4 matches, Andre Russell has been a part of the Ultimate Team. Given his all-round impact, his selection percentage hasn’t dropped below 92.
Although Sunil Narine has blown hot and cold, he blasted 28* off 18 against Emirates a few weeks ago, and took the all-important wicket of Pollard.
When these teams met earlier in the competition, Dhananjaya de Silva (65 off 40) and Andre Fletcher (53 off 43) were the captain and the vice-captain of the Ultimate Team respectively.
In his last 5 outings at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Trent Boult has managed only 3 wickets.
Given the friendly batting conditions at the venue, an average of 6 sixes per innings has been smashed in the last 3 games.
In the same period, 25% of the wickets belonged to the spinners.
