MUL vs ISL Dream11 Best Team Prediction

Top Fantasy Picks - All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

Top Batsman Picks - MUL vs ISL Dream11

• Mohammad Rizwan - Rizwan finished the last season as the highest run scorer but this year he started off with just 11 runs in 12 delivers. He is not a player that we can keep out of a fantasy team just because of one bad performance.
• Reeza Hendricks - South African T20 batter Reeza Hendricks smashed 79 runs off at a strike rate of 146.29 taking the team’s total to 185. Multan won by 55 runs and Hendricks was awarded the player of the match. He is carrying the momentum from SA20 and is a must-pick batter for fantasy teams.
• Shadab Khan - Shadab Khan is making it to the top-batters pick for this match after showing his confident form in the first game. The team was at 62-2 in 7.2 overs while chasing 196 but Shadab had different plans. He smashed 74 off just 41 deliveries to take his team to the winning end. Shadab also picked a wicket.

Top Bowler Picks - MUL vs ISL Dream11

• Naseem Shah - Naseem is making a comeback after a long break due to injury. He looks fit but not in perfect form as he bowled 1 no-ball and 6 wides. We are backing him to come back stronger in the next game and pick more wickets.
• David Willey- England pacer looked in good touch in the first match. He finished with the figures of 2/22 removing 2 of the top-order batters. We are anticipating more wickets from Willey in this match as he scored 74 fantasy points.
• Mohammad Ali - This 31-year-old pacer from Pakistan’s domestic circuit has impressed everyone in the first game of Multan Sultans. He finished with figures of 3/23 removing Daniel Sams, Hasan Ali and Mir Hamza on ducks.

Top Picks for Captain and Vice Captain - MUL vs ISL Dream11

• Dream11 Captain Options - Reeza Hendricks, Mohammad Rizwan

• Dream11 Vice Captain Options - Alex Hales, Shadab Khan

Players To Avoid - MUL vs ISL Dream11

• Shahnawaz Dahani - Dahani gave off 30 runs in 3 overs at an economy of 10.0 and went wicket-less. He played just 1 game last year and picked a wicket and we are not sure of his current form. We can take a leap of faith by keeping him out of this fantasy team.
• Faheem Ashraf - Ashraf did not look dangerous at all in the first game. He gave off 40 runs at an economy of 13.50 and went wicket-less. We are not expecting wickets from him in the next match, therefore keeping him in this list.
