BHU vs IRN Dream11 match top picks
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
Arshad Mazarzei (4 matches, 7 runs, Average: 1.75)
Arshad Mazarzei has only seven runs in his last four matches and is unable to get going in the top order. He is experienced and is handy with the ball as well. Although Manoj Adhikari is not a bad option either, Mazarzei is a decent option for your BHU vs IRN Dream11 prediction team.
Top Batter Pick
Thinley Jamtsho (30(34) in the previous game)
Thinley Jamtsho was Bhutan's top performer with the bat, scoring 30 runs off just 34 balls in the previous game. He has scores of 30, 37, 51, and 39 in his last four white-ball matches, holding him in good stead. Given his recent form, Jamtsho is a fine pick for your BHU vs IRN Dream11 prediction team.
Top All-rounder Pick
Abdo Ebrahimipour (2/47 in the previous game)
Abdo Ebrahimipour picked up two wickets and conceded only 47 runs in the previous game. He is one of Iran's go-to bowlers with the new ball and can hold his own with the bat too. With Abdo likely to play a big role with bat and ball, he is a must-have in your BHU vs IRN Dream11 prediction team.
Top Bowler Pick
Sonam Yeshi (1/28 in the previous game)
Sonam Yeshi had a decent outing in the previous game, picking up one wicket and conceding only 28 runs against Bahrain. Yeshi should enjoy the conditions on offer, with spin being key at the venue.
With Yeshi likely to bowl with the new ball and in the middle overs, he becomes an important pick for your BHU vs IRN Dream11 prediction team.

Zahed Afarin was the standout player for Iran in their previous game against Maldives. He scored 29 runs and picked up five wickets with the ball. He is likely to play a prominent role with bat and ball, making him a fine captaincy pick for your BHU vs IRN Dream11 prediction team.
Namgay Thinley
Namgay Thinley is a talented all-rounder who is capable of winning games single-handedly. He scored 16 runs off 24 balls and also showed glimpses of his bowling ability in his spell of 7-0-24-0. Given his skill set, Thinley is a viable choice as captain or vice-captain for your BHU vs IRN Dream11 prediction team.
