Fantasy Tips of The Day
Wahab Riaz has encouraging numbers against Peshawar. In 20 outings, he has bagged 34 wickets including the best figures of three for 17.
Azmatullah Omarzai has featured in the Best11 for the last five T20s, managing eight wickets.
Amidst a duck and two single-digit scores, Babar Azam has slammed three half-centuries this season. Although it’s been a mixed bag of numbers, it’s his reputation due to which his selection percentage hasn’t dropped below 82.
Despite blowing hot and cold, Martin Guptill will draw confidence from the fact that he smashed 86* off 56 when he last played in Rawalpindi.
Besides inflicting 12 dismissals, Sarfaraz Ahmed has collected 447 runs at 30 versus Peshawar.
Only twice in his last 10 T20s has Naseem Shah gone wicketless. Against Peshawar, he has taken six wickets in four matches.
Tom Kohler-Cadmore has enjoyed batting at the Pindi club. In two innings, he has registered scores of 56* and 36.
By virtue of adding 71 runs and picking five wickets in his last three games, it has been a hat-trick of appearances in the Best11 for Mohammad Nawaz.
When these teams clashed earlier in the competition, James Neesham (37 runs and a wicket) and Iftikhar Ahmed (50 runs) were the captain and vice-captain of the Best11 respectively.
Five out of nine fifties registered in the last three games at the venue have belonged to openers.
