KHT vs COV Risky Captaincy Choices
Yasir Ali Chowdhury has made 156 runs in eight games at an average of 31.2 and a strike rate of 136.84. But, he has been highly inconsistent in the tournament and has not been able to reach over 25 runs in six of his innings. He is a risky pick for the captaincy position in your fantasy team.
Sikandar Raza has played in three matches and has scored 86 runs at a strike rate of 138.70. There are plenty of other players in both the lineups who have scored more runs than Raza. You can take a risk and pick him as the captain of your fantasy team.
Player you should avoid
Nahidul Islam picked eight wickets in the first three matches for the Victorians. But, he has managed to pick a sole wicket in the last four games. There are other consistent bowlers in the team whom you should consider for your fantasy team and avoid.
