Captain and Vice-Captain Selection:

Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz are perfect choices for captain and vice-captain. Isuru Udana can also be picked up as the vice-captain. Sunil Narine and Hazratullah Zazai will be perfect alternatives for these roles.

Playing XI #1 for Head to Head/Small Leagues:

Keeper – Zakir Hasan

Batters – Kieron Pollard, Hazratullah Zazai, Rony Talukdar, Laurie Evans

All-Rounders – Sunil Narine, Shakib Al Hasan (C), Mehidy Hasan Miraz (VC)

Bowlers – Rubel Hossain, Shuvagata Hom, Isuru Udana

Playing XI #2 for Grand Leagues/Mega Leagues:

Keeper – Zakir Hasan

Batters – Kieron Pollard, Hazratullah Zazai, Rony Talukdar, Mominul Haque

All-Rounders – Shakib Al Hasan, Andre Russell (C), Mehidy Hasan Miraz (VC)

Bowlers – Mustafizur Rahman, Shuvagata Hom, Isuru Udana

Expert Advice:

Mehidy Hasan Miraz has to be picked given his batting in top order which is a perfect addition to his role as a bowler. As a result, one of the Dhaka’s big three Shakib Al Hasan, Sunil Narine and Andre Russell have to be left out. Russell will be the soft target here given Shakib and Narine’s effectiveness.

Probable Winners:

The Dhaka Dynamites are expected to continue their winning streak with a win against the Rajshahi Kings.
