Fantasy Tips and Suggestions
Wicket-keeper: Glenn Phillips is the highest run-scorer in CPL 2019 and should be backed to score some runs in the final game for Jamaica Tallawahs this season. Along with him, one of Liton Das or Nicolas Pooran could also be picked to make do with the credit limitations.
Batsmen: Brandon King has taken everyone by surprise by scoring over 250 runs for the Guyana Amazon Warriors. He is a great option to have in the side along with Chris Gayle, who would love to bow out of the competition with a trademark inning filled with a lot of boundaries. One of Shimron Hetmyer or Chadwick Walton should suffice as the final batting option for this game.
Allrounders: Shoaib Malik has been brilliant for the Warriors with the Pakistan all-rounder able to provide the impetus with the bat. While he has chipped in with a few wickets as well, his ability as a finisher is well valued. Along with Keemo Paul and Imran Khan, he is a viable candidate on a pitch that could suit his skill set.
Bowlers: Imran Tahir and Chris Green have led the way with over twenty wickets between them. Both of them should be picked in the side for this game with the pitch tending to favour the spinners. As for the final pick, Zahir Khan should suffice from the Jamaican roster. If one were to prefer a pacer, Shamar Springer should prove to be a decent punt.
Captain: Shimron Hetmyer did get some runs under his belt against Trinbago Knight Riders and would be eager to continue his resurgence in form. Along with the Guyanese batsman, the likes of Glenn Phillips and Chris Green are also viable options to opt for as captain or vice-captain.
