Form Concerns
Although Kennar Lewis is known for his six-hitting, he hasn’t made much impact in this edition. He has managed only 115 runs in 7 innings at 16.
Suddenly, wickets have dried up for Migael Pretorius. He has struck only once in his last 5 outings.
Game Changers
Niroshan Dickwella’s role is to attack from the word go. By batting at No.3 in the last two games, he has registered scores of 21 and 36.
Through his big-hitting, Roshon Primus has already established himself as one of the best finishers in the tournament. Besides adding 97 runs, he has taken 5 wickets.
Smart Picks
Thanks to his dual skills, David Wiese has been regularly featuring in the Ultimate Team. In addition to smashing 126 runs at a strike rate of 152, he has bagged 9 wickets, including the best figures of 3 for 17.
Playing his first game of the season, Mohammad Nabi failed with the bat but made amends with the ball by adding 30 vital points for finishing with figures of 3 for 12.
Power Players
Brandon King has blown hot and cold, but his blazing 104 off 64 balls (8 fours and 7 sixes) wreaked havoc in fantasy leagues. Overall, he has accumulated 326 runs in 9 innings at 36.
Unlike King, Faf du Plessis has been more consistent, owing to which he averages 41 in 8 matches, including 20 fours and 21 sixes. His recent scores read 31, 60, 41, 2, and 103.
Alzarri Joseph and Mohammad Amir have been the leading wicket-takers for their respective sides. While Joseph has 16 to his credit in 9 games, Amir has taken 13 wickets in as many outings. Both seamers have been striking with both new and old ball.
Fantasy Tip of The Day
There has been a lot of chop and change in both teams for various reasons. Try focusing on the consistent performers rather than trying anything unconventional.
