Fantasy Tips of The Day
Najmul Hossain Shanto’s recent numbers are outstanding. His last four competitive T20 scores read 38, 40, 64, and 51. In the ongoing white-ball series, he has scored three fifties in four encounters.
Shakib Al Hasan’s best bowling figures (five for 20) came at the very venue.
Jos Buttler is the only player from both teams to feature in the Best11 in the last five competitive T20s, scoring three fifties and pouching as many catches.
Adil Rashid has gone wicketless only once in 2023, overall scalping 15 wickets in 11 outings.
In his last 10 games, Ben Duckett has hammered 342 at a splendid average of 49.
Mustafizur Rahman is the top wicker-taker at the venue: 38 wickets with an economy of just over 6 RPO.
Sam Curran and Chris Woakes made it to the Best11 in three of the last five games, generating points with both bat and ball.
Litton Das has had a good year thus far. Since the Bangladesh T20 League, he has scored 391 runs at an impressive average of 30 and grabbed 10 catches.
In the last three T20Is at the venue, spinners accounted for 20 of 41 wickets.
