Expert Advice:

Rashid Khan seems to be lacking confidence with the ball in the shorter formats. He was taken for the runs and failed to pick a wicket in the first game. In the 2nd match, Rashid himself bowled only one and let others complete his remaining three overs. Hence he might a very risky pick at the moment.

Probable Winners:

Band-e-Amir Dragons are expected to win their first match of the tournament.
