Expert Advice:

Mohamed Nasim could well be a differential pick in the fantasy team as claimed up 52 wickets across 45 domestic T20 matches and also scored close to 500 runs at a decent average and strike rate. He hasn’t been selected by many including in our fantasy suggested XIs. We couldn’t pick him in our fantasy team for this match due to excess all-rounders in the available category.

The St Gallen CC is expected to start their campaign with a victory.
