Key Players
Analysis
Sarfraz Ahmed has played some good knocks for Quetta Gladiators in the past and thus becomes a valuable pick. Shimron Hetmyer can also be a good pick on Karachi's batting-friendly wicket. Zalmi's Hazratulah Zazai and Shoaib Malik also find themselves a place in the fantasy team. Young Tom Kohler-Cadmore can prove to be a good pick with some good hitting skills. Mohammad Nawaz, Ben Cutting, and James Faulkner take the all-rounders' spots. Wahab Riaz is a good pick from the bowlers' category. Mohammad Hasnain and Naseem Shah can fetch valuable points.
