Fantasy tips and suggestions

Wicket-keeper: Since Kusal Perera is out of the contest, Mohammad Shahzad should be the priority pick among the wicket-keepers. The Afghan player can turn the game within a span of a few deliveries thus, he can be a differential.

Batsmen: Dawid Malan and Sabbir Rahman should be the top two picks from the Cumilla Warriors as both the batsmen have a good amount of experience of playing in this format. From the Rangers, Cameron Delport can be a difference maker while Jahurul Islam could also chip in with some valuable runs.

All-rounders: Soumya Sarkar's incredible batting skills make him a viable option in this department whereas there are only a few T20 all-rounders on the planet so talented as Mohammad Nabi. Lewis Gregory could also prove to be a valuable asset for the fantasy team.

Bowlers: Mujeeb Ur Rahman will be the player to watch out for in this contest as the pitch will assist him a lot. Mustafizur Rahman has been a wicket-taking bowler and, Al-Amin Hossain too possesses the same qualities.

Captain: While the batsmen and all-rounders often produce better results as the captain, Mujeeb Ur Rahman is also a leading contender for this match. From the other two departments, Sabbir Rahman, Soumya Sarkar and Mohammad Nabi are the leading captaincy candidates.

Fantasy Suggestion #1: Mohammad Shahzad, Cameron Delport, Jahurul Islam, Sabbir Rahman, Lewis Gregory, Mohammad Nabi, Soumya Sarkar, Sanzamul Islam, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mustafizur Rahman, Oshane Thomas. Captain: Mohammad Nabi, Vice-Captain: Soumya Sarkar

Fantasy Suggestion #2: M Islam Ankon, Dawid Malan, Fazle Mahmud, Sabbir Rahman, Tom Abell, Lewis Gregory, Mohammad Nabi, Soumya Sarkar, Al-Amin Hossain, Junaid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Captain: Sabbir Rahman, Vice-Captain: Mujeeb Ur Rahman
