Key Players
Analysis
Upul Tharanga has shown some great batting skills to bail Asia Lions out of trouble. Asghar Afghan also came to the party in their last game against India Maharajas. Dilshan is always a good pick for a fantasy team. Misbah-l-Haq has also shown some decent form. Meanwhile, Kevin Pietersen, Darren Sammy, Kevin O'Brien are good picks from the World Giants squad. Bowlers have not enjoyed a great time but Muttiah Muralitharan, Morne Morkel, and Kulasekara can fetch some valuable points.
