Pitch Report:
A high scoring pitch awaits both sides with some turn for the spinners as well. Considering the firepower on either side, 170-180 should be competitive on this wicket with the shorter dimensions of the ground coming into play as well.
Fantasy Tips and Suggestions:
Wicket-keeper: Nicolas Pooran and Devon Thomas have done well for GAW and SNP respectively with both of them scoring a fifty each in CPL 2019. Although Devon Thomas is the top run-scorer for SNP, Nicolas Pooran is the preferred choice with his ability to clear the boundaries at will being a key aspect on a high-scoring ground.
Batsmen: Shimron Hetmyer and Evin Lewis are must-have players in the fantasy team with their form taken into account. Similarly, Chanderpaul Hemraj is another such player who is in good form and can also chip in with a couple of overs with the ball. One of Jason Mohammad or Laurie Evans should suffice as the fourth batsmen in the team.
Allrounders: Keemo Paul and Fabian Allen have done exceedingly well with the ball but it is their batting ability that has caught the eye. Both of them are worthwhile options in the team while the likes of Shoaib Malik and Carlos Brathwaite are also viable candidates in filling out the final spot in the all-rounder's department.
Bowlers: Rayad Emrit has been consistently picking wickets with his clever variations and should be picked alongside one of Chris Green or Shadab Khan. While Alzarri Joseph has done well in CPL 2019, Romario Shephard's brilliant ability in the death overs makes him one to watch out for on Sunday.
Captain: Shimron Hetmyer and Evin Lewis are two of the most explosive batsmen in the competition with the south-paws already making a mark in CPL 2019. Both of them are great options to have as captain along with Nicolas Pooran, who is slowly getting back to his best in a finisher's role for GAW.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: Nicolas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, Evin Lewis, Shamarh Brooks, Chanderpaul Hemraj, Fabian Allen, Keemo Paul, Shoaib Malik, Rayad Emrit, Alzarri Joseph and Romario Shephard. Captain: Shimron Hetmyer, Vice-Captain: Evin Lewis
Fantasy Suggestion #2: Nicolas Pooran, Evin Lewis, Shimron Hetmyer, Brandon King, Laurie Evans, Keemo Paul, Fabian Allen, Shadab Khan, Romario Shephard, Dominic Drakes and Rayad Emrit. Captain: Evin Lewis, Vice-Captain: Nicolas Pooran
