Fantasy Tips and Suggestions

Wicket-keeper: Shai Hope is the preferred option after his marathon innings against Ireland is still fresh in everyone's minds. With his record in the 50 over format over the last year or so being impressive, he should be backed to score more runs.

Batsmen: John Campbell and Tamim Iqbal are must have players in the side with their ability to score quick runs at the top of the order. Darren Bravo is another candidate who needs to prove his form heading into the World Cup and should be backed to score some runs alongside the likes of Soumya Sarkar and Liton Das.

All-rounders: Shakib Al Hasan is one of the best all-rounders in the world and should be picked without any hesitation. Alongside the Bangladesh superstar, Jason Holder and Mohammad Saifuddin are also great options to have in the team.

Bowlers: Two of Sheldon Cottrell, Kemar Roach and Shannon Gabriel are a must in the side with their ability to generate pace and bounce on a good Dublin punch. Along with them, the variations of Mustafizur Rahman could be pivotal on Tuesday while one of Mehidy Hasan is also a handy option.

Captain: Shai Hope and Shakib Al Hasan are the front-runners for captaincy considering the impact they have on their respective teams. Tamim Iqbal's record is also one to keep an eye on, making him an outsider for captaincy.
