Fantasy Tips of The Day
At the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mustafizur Rahman has taken 39 wickets – of which 23 have come while bowling first.
By not going wicketless in his last 10 white-ball games, Jofra Archer has bagged 23 wickets. In the format against Bangladesh, he has the best figures of three for 13.
Besides picking 39 wickets including the best figures of five for 20 in Dhaka, Shakib Al Hasan has the highest score of 66 with the bat.
Philip Salt’s aggressive approach at the top has helped fantasy players stay ahead in the race. He averages 32 versus Bangladesh and has generated 11 points through boundary-hitting in this series.
Only once in his last 10 matches has Adil Rashid gone wicketless. On this tour of Bangladesh, he has been England’s joint-highest wicket-taker (nine).
Despite batting down the order, Afif Hossain has collected 345 runs at 23, including the highest score of 52 in Dhaka.
By virtue of smashing two fifties and a 46* in his last three innings, it has been a hat-trick of appearances in the Best11 for Najmul Hasan Shanto. He is the leading run-getter (97) in this series.
Through consistent performances with bat and gloves, Jos Buttler has featured in the Best11 in his last five outings. He averages 36 against Bangladesh in their own backyard.
It has not been a productive tour for Chris Woakes with the ball. He has taken only two wickets (in two T20Is and two ODIs) on the tour.
Only two fifties have been registered in the last three games at the venue.
In the same period, openers have been dismissed for a single-digit figure on seven occasions and once for a duck.
