Expert Advice:
Saud Islam of Uganda has been wrongly listed as a bowler in the Dream11 fantasy. The Uganda player is fresh of a century in the One-Day match against Qatar President’s XI which he scored opening the innings on Tuesday. Thus, he is likely to be a crucial name in the fantasy team for the first match.
Probable Winners:
The Qatar team is expected to defeat Uganda in this match.
