In the very next game, they bounced back by chasing down 162 against the Halar Heroes. Zalawad’s Sheldon Jackson is the highest run-getter having scored 169 runs with two fifties while Sorath’s Chetan Sakariya is leading wicket-taker with nine wickets.

Expert Advice:

Cheteshwar Pujara holds the key in building the fantasy team for this game. In this low scoring tournament, Pujara doesn’t require to do something out of the box which justifies his selection and making him the captain or vice-captain. However, his cost of 10.5 credits won’t help in picking a high priced all-rounder or bowler who could earn the same number of points if not more.

Probable Winners:

Sorath Lions are expected to win the inaugural edition of the Saurashtra Premier League.
