Fantasy Tips of The Day
Shakib Al Hasan has great T20 numbers at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. He is the leading wicket-taker (29), and has smashed 712 runs at an average of 37 and a stunning strike rate of 149.
Najmul Hossain Shanto was the top run-getter in the recently concluded Bangladesh T20 league: 516 runs at 40.
Taskin Ahmed has scalped 25 wickets at the venue, including a fifer.
Dawid Malan has scored 869 runs at 35 in T20s in Bangladesh, including a century and five fifties.
Litton Das and Afif Hossain have been in top form of late. While Das bludgeoned three thirties and as many fifties in the last 10 T20s, Hossain managed four thirties and two fifties.
Jos Buttler’s T20 numbers in 2023 make great reading. He has hammered 391 runs at 39, including only one single-digit score in 11 innings. With the gloves, he has pouched eight catches and inflicted a stumping.
Mark Wood has been troubling the batters with his pace time and again. He has scalped nine wickets in the last four T20Is, generating the three-wicket bonus twice.
Ben Duckett featured in the Best11 in the last five games, averaging 56 with the bat.
Spinners picked 39% of wickets in the last three T20Is at the venue.
