Moneyball9 Fantasy Tips: 10 players to look forward to in the West Indies tri-nation series
With the IPL carnival finally getting over, we welcome back another exciting season of international cricket. The party is all set to begin in the Carribean islands with South Africa, Australia and hosts West Indies featuring in a tri-series. For the first time in Windies cricket history, all matches in a series will be played under the lights. So who are the players you should be keeping an eye on during the series for fantasy? Here’s an analysis:
David Warner
Money-wise he is going to be in that top bracket but is totally worth it with the kind of form he has been in. Barely few days after leading Sunrisers to the IPL title, Warner would be gunning for more glory with Australia and with 50 overs to play for, expect him to score big even though is averaging less than 40 overall in the format.
The pitches are widely expected to be similar to what he encountered in India, so he won’t have to make any major adjustments. There should be no surprises if he manages to join the double-hundred bandwagon in this tournament on current form.
Hashim Amla
The South African’s consistency is something that is well documented and he has been at his best in the ODI format for a very long time now. Considering that, it is quite surprising that he will cost only 7500 rupees in the fantasy. That should make him a certainty in your team.
Amla’s style is tailor-made for these slow pitches and hence the runs are literally guaranteed. He also scored a fighting half-century and a century in South Africa’s previous ODI outing against England.
