Wicketkeeper
Sanaboyina Tarun: Sanaboyina Tarun had a decent outing in the previous game, but couldn't convert his start into a big one. He looks technically sound and can clear the boundary at will. With his wicketkeeping skills also bound to come into play, Tarun is one to watch out for in this game.

Ricky Bhui: Ricky Bhui is a talented batter who has been a consistent performer for the Andhra Ranji team for quite some time now. The former U-19 star is known for his ability to score big runs and showed glimpses of his ability in the previous game. With Bhui due a big one, he is a must-have in your UTL vs BZW Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Shoaib Md Khan: While Shoaib Md Khan didn't have much to do with the bat, he had already done the damage with the ball for the Lions. Shoaib put in an economical spell, conceding just 18 runs and picking up a couple of wickets. Given his form and experience, Shoaib should be a good addition to your UTL vs BZW Dream11 fantasy team.
