Empire Blades vs Greater Helsinki Markhors Match Prediction

EB vs GHM Dream11 Prediction

• Wicket-keeper(s)

  There are some good wicket-keeping options to choose form, including in-form Empire batsman Jonathan Scamans at just 8.5 credits. Ghulfam Nazir will be a key all-rounder for Greater Helsinki, meanwhile, so he is top value at the same price too. Vaanraj Padhaal is another to consider at nine credits, and his own batting form could be key, but you need to keep space for the all-rounders too.

• All-rounder(s)

  The top talent is listed as all-rounders, including Amjad Sher for Empire and Ziaur Rehman for Greater Helsinki. Rehman is in fine batting form and Sher has taken plenty of wickets and scored useful runs for Empire this season. That leaves only one space, so Naveed Shahid’s all-round form should edge it ahead of Hamzah Mukhtar.

• Batsmen

  Unfortunately, with Padhaal and Nazir listed as wicket-keepers, there could be a limited choice on the batsmen. Udaybhaskar Nandini has proved his wicket-taking form in T10 cricket before now, so it is a bonus that he is listed as a batsman and he should be picked at 8.5 credits, while in terms of those to have played in the Finnish T20 Premier League, Adnan Ahmad – at 8.5 credits too – is one of the few to have appeared regularly. That leaves a wide choice for the third batsman – Bipin Khoda is nine credits but there is a high chance very few will play.

• Bowlers

  Empire’s fine bowling form has been central to their success at T20 level so far this season and, as well as Sher, Mahesh Tambe and Raaz Muhammad have been key to that. They are 9.5 and 8.5 credits respectively, which should leave enough for Muhammad Imran as the third option – he is an all-rounder and likely to be up the batting order. Alternatives include Sohail Amin and Kashif Muhammad for Greater Helsinki.

• Captain/vice-captain

  The all-round stars are plentiful and Mahesh Tambe in particular has excelled in more recent weeks to show his form. Ziaur Rehman and Ghulfam Nazir are top options for the Markhors, but Amjad Sher may demand selection ahead of them as vice-captain.
