Fantasy Tips of The Day
Tamim Iqbal has impressive statistics for this contest. He is the top run-getter against England (546 runs at 34) and at the venue (592 runs at 37).
Adil Rashid thrives in these conditions. In Bangladesh, he has bagged 16 wickets at an incredible strike rate of 18.
In his last 10 innings at the venue, Mushfiqur Rahim has collected 394 runs at an average of 56 including four fifties.
England play Shakib Al Hasan’s left-arm spin well, giving him 16 wickets in as many games. However, they will play Shakib at his most successful venue, where he has scalped as many 37 wickets in only 20 outings.
Jason Roy has been an all-or-nothing player of late. In his last five ODIs, he has bludgeoned two hundreds and registered three single-digit scores. Against Bangladesh, however, he has hammered two hundreds in the last three games.
Jos Buttler’s fantasy numbers against Bangladesh are breathtaking. He made it to the Best11 in seven of eight games: five fifties, 13 catches, two stumpings.
Taijul Islam is the only Bangladesh player to boast Best11 percentage of 100 in the last five appearances, overall managing 12 wickets.
Featuring in the Bangladesh T20 League before the series has helped Moeen Ali score 56 runs and take three wickets, generating points for fantasy players with his all-round performances.
In the last three matches at the venue, 47% of wickets belonged to spinners. Meanwhile, all four centuries registered in this duration were smashed by the top three batters.
