IRN vs BAH Dream11 match top picks
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
Shahbaz Badar (178(144) in the previous game)
Shahbaz Badar was the star of the show in Bahrain's win over Maldives as he scored a 144-ball 178 at the top order. Badar is an aggressive batter who is well and truly capable of scoring big runs at a healthy strike rate. With his counterpart Mazarzei not in the best of form, Badar stands out as the top pick for your IRN vs BAH Dream11 prediction team in this department.
Top Batter Pick
Abbas Ali Raeisi (22(49) in the previous game)
Abbas Ali Raeisi has shown glimpses of his ability in this tournament with scores of 22 and 0 so far. He is one of Iran's best batter and is likely to bat at number three. With Raeisi showing signs of form in the previous game, he is a good pick for your IRN vs BAH Dream11 prediction team.
Top All-rounder Pick
Abdo Ebrahimipour (37(69) & 2/17 in the previous game)
Abdo Ebrahimipour was brilliant against Bhutan, scoring 37 runs and picking up two wickets. While he has been inconsistent with the bat, Abdo has four wickets in two matches, holding him in good stead. Given his all-round skill set, Abdo is a fine pick for your IRN vs BAH Dream11 prediction team.
Top Bowler Pick
Ali Dawood (2/16 in the previous game)
Bahrain's strike bowler Ali Dawood has done well in this tournament so far, picking up three wickets at an average of 16.33. He is known for his effectiveness with the new ball and can hold his own in the death overs as well.
With the conditions also favoring Dawood, he is a must-have in your IRN vs BAH Dream11 prediction team.
IRN vs BAH match captain and vice-captain choices
Zahed Afarin
Zahed Afarin has been Iran's best player in the tournament with seven wickets and 51 runs to his name. While he is one of Iran's best batters, Afarin's real value lies with the ball. He has already picked up a five-wicket haul earlier in the season, holding him in good stead.
Given his form, Afarin is a viable captaincy pick for your IRN vs BAH Dream11 prediction team.
Prashanth Kurup
Prashanth Kurup is another talented Bahrain batter who has shown glimpses of his ability so far. Kurup has scores of 27 (66) and 15 (17) in this tournament, which are slightly underwhelming. However, Kurup is capable of scoring big runs at the top of the order and can be backed as a captaincy choice in your IRN vs BAH Dream11 prediction team.
