SNP vs BT Fantasy Tips and Suggestions
Wicket-keeper: Two decent options in Devon Thomas and Leniko Boucher are on offer for the fantasy players. While Thomas has already scored some runs in CPL 2019, Boucher is due for a big one at the top of the order and is the prime candidate for this slot. In case of an extra top-order batsman, Thomas could be picked as well.
Batsmen: Alex Hales didn't have a great start to his CPL career with a first-ball duck. He should make up for his rare failure. Laurie Evans and Evin Lewis are worthy options to have in the squad. While Johnson Charles is another dynamic opener to have in the fantasy team, Jonathan Carter's ability to pace his innings perfectly and against spin makes him a worth-while option.
All-rounders: Jason Holder has added responsibility with the bat in the death overs. Combined with his quality swing bowling, he is a great option. Fabian Allen is another resourceful option whose left-arm spin could be tough to put away while one of Mohd Hafeez or Ashley Nurse should do as well.
Bowlers: Sheldon Cottrell and Raymon Reifer are must-haves in this game given their ability to pick wickets in the death overs. Primus is another good option with the West Indian picking two wickets against GAW. To complete the fantasy team, one of Emrit or Joseph should suffice.
Captain: Alex Hales and Evin Lewis have plied their trade for numerous team across the T20 circuit with multiple hundreds to their names. They are the first choices for captaincy on a good batting track. If one were to opt for a different player, Laurie Evans is a good pick, if selected in the playing XI.
