Smart Fantasy Picks
A back-to-back three-wicket haul for Haris Rauf has made him the highest wicket-taker of the series. In his last five ODIs, he has taken as many as 13 wickets.
Vivian Kingma has thus far been the best bowler for the hosts. He managed to dismiss Imam-ul-Haq in both games. He strikes mostly when the ball is new.
Naseem Shah has had a dream start to his ODI journey, registering figures of 3 for 51 and 2 for 27. He has not gone wicketless in his last 10 competitive games.
Two of Mohammad Nawaz’s three wickets in the last game were of Cooper and Edwards, for which he was adjudged the Player of the Match. His recent ODI numbers make a good reading: 11 wickets in the last five games.
Mohammad Rizwan (69* off 82) and Agha Salman ( 50* off 35) stitched an unbeaten partnership of 93 runs to seal the series 0-2. Agha’s performance especially was the highlight of Pakistan’s innings, as the 20-year-old attained his maiden fifty in only his second ODI and also generated bonus fantasy points for his staggering strike rate.
Fantasy Tip of The Day
The ball does a bit at the start, and as witnessed in the last game, Pakistan made full use of it. If Netherlands bat first, power up your fantasy teams with the visitors’ bowling attack.
