Players To Avoid - EMI vs GUL Dream11

• Muhammad Rohid - Rohid has been out of form from the last 4 matches. He has been part of just 2 dream teams in 8 matches he played. We are not expecting more wickets from him in this match. We are expecting that team might replace him in this match but if he is in the playing 11 you can keep him away from the fantasy teams.
• Dominic Drakes - We are making a bold choice by keeping Drakes out of the dream11 fantasy team. He has scored 51 runs and picked 5 wickets in 9 matches. He has not been part of any dream team in the last 5-6 games and we are not expecting anything exceptional from him in this match.
