Fantasy Tips of The Day
Wahab Riaz is the most successful bowler against Karachi. He has scalped 21 wickets, including two three-wicket hauls.
Babar Azam scored a fifty on both the occasions he batted at the venue. He is Peshawar’s top run-scorer this year (178 runs at 44.5).
Imad Wasim is having a great tournament: he is both the top run-getter (180 runs at 90) and top wicket-taker (seven wickets) for Karachi. He smashed 80 of 47 against Peshawar two weeks ago.
Shoaib Malik is turning back the clock this season. He has scored 174 runs at 43.5 in the tournament, while also picking up four wickets.
Tabraiz Shamsi has gone wicketless in only one of the last seven T20s, picking up 10 wickets during this period.
Tom Kohler-Cadmore was the captain of the Best11 when the sides met earlier this season. He scored 92 of 50 and pouched two catches.
Matthew Wade, James Vince, and Jimmy Neesham have featured in the Best11 in four of the last five appearances.
