Andy Balbirnie:

Irish skipper scored only one run in the last match but has been in sensational form in this series so far. He scored 51 runs off 38 balls in the opening match, and 46 runs off 36 balls in the second match. He will be a good captaincy choice for your Dream11 team on Monday.

Rahmatullah Gurbaz:

Afghanistan wicketkeeper scored 53 runs off just 35 balls at a strike rate of 151.4 in the last match. He also played a crucial knock of 26 runs in the opening match and now is leading the most-runs chart for his team in this series.

Top Picks – All-Rounders

George Dockrell:

The in-form all-rounder smashed unbeaten 58 runs off just 37 balls in the last match but failed to guide his team to a win while chasing a big 190-run target. He took two wickets while conceding just seven runs in the first match but didn’t get a chance to bowl in the last two matches.

Top Picks – Bowlers

Joshua Little:

The Irish pacer is just one wicket from completing 50 T20I wickets, and he is just 22 years of age. Little took two wickets while conceding just 29 runs in the last match and now is leading the most-wickets chart with five wickets at an economy rate of 6.66 in this series.

Naveen-ul-Haq:

The youngster bowled a match-winning spell of 3/38 in the last match and now is leading the most-wickets chart for his team with five wickets in this series. Naveen has taken 23 wickets in 16 T20I matches at an impressive economy rate of 7.78 so far.

Top Picks – Wicketkeeper

Lorcan Tucker:
