Team Analysis:
West Indies:
Nicholas Pooran-led side had a horrific outing against Scotland on October 17 as the side suffered a 42-run defeat. All-rounder Jason Holder (38 off 33) helped the side to cross the 100-run mark, otherwise, none of the batters looked comfortable against Scotland.
Players like Kyle Mayers, Evin Lewis, Rovman Powell can feature in the fantasy team as they have the potential to do well. The skipper Nicholas Pooran can also be considered for valuable points on board. Jason Holden is an obvious pick for the fantasy squad. Alzarri Joseph and Akeal Hosein are two mandatory picks from the bowling department.
Zimbabwe:
Craig Ervine-led Zimbabwe is one of the most balanced sides in this round as it features talented cricketers in all the departments. Sikandar Raza was brilliant against Ireland as he scored 82-runs off just 48 deliveries.
Raza should be a mandatory pick for the fantasy team. Although skipper Ervine didn't perform up to the reputation, he is a quality batter and must be part of the fantasy squad. 24-year-old Richard Ngarava was also instrumental in the last game and should be considered while forming a fantasy squad.
Probable XI:
Zimbabwe:
Regis Chakabva (wk), Craig Ervine (c), Wesley Madhevere, Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, Milton Shumba, Ryan Burl, Luke Jongwe, Tendai Chatara, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani
West Indies:
Kyle Mayers, Evin Lewis, Brandon King, Shamarh Brooks, Nicholas Pooran (c & wk), Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Odean Smith, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Obed McCoy
