Today’s COV vs FBA Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Nurul Hasan: Although Nurul Hasan wasn't able to score many runs in his previous outing, the Barishal keeper will be keen to get back amongst the runs. Expected to bat in the middle order, Nurul is a good player of both pace and spin, making him a handy addition to your COV vs FBA Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Faf du Plessis: Faf du Plessis had a false start to his BPL career, but he still remains Comilla Victorians' go-to batter at the top of the order. The veteran batter has good technique against spin and given his knack for scoring big runs, he is one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounder
Shakib Al Hasan: Shakib Al Hasan is one of the premier all-rounders in the world. On slightly slowish tracks such as that in Dhaka, Shakib can prove to be a handful with both the bat and ball. With his form also playing into his hands, he should be a must-have in your COV vs FBA Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Mustafizur Rahman: Mustafizur Rahman had a decent outing in his previous game, using his pace and variations to good effect. The nature of the track should suit him with his zippy off-cutters likely to yield a wicket or two in this game.
