Fantasy Picks

Captain: Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan will be taunting New Zealand batters. With his kind of variations, he is surely a wicket-taker against quality batting sides. The long boundaries will fetch him a great opportunity to get a big game. 

Vice-captain: T Boult

T Boult’s s swing will be dangerous for the Afghan batters. With the conditions that favour swing bowling, T Boult is the number one option for the vice-captain. 

Wicketkeeper: D Conway, R Gurbaz

D Conway is for the kind of form he is in at present. 

R Gurbaz will be a dasher with the new ball batting. If he gets over Four overs, he will score a high score. 

Batters: I Zadran, Najibullah, G Phillips

The technically sound I Zadran had a good first game, and he will be able to continue the same.
