T10 League 2018, Match 21: Pakhtoons vs Punjabi Legends – Dream11 Fantasy Tips

In terms of results, the Pakhtoons are easily the best side in the T10 League 2018 having won four out of the five matches they played thus far. They won two matches in the group stage to finish as the toppers of Group A. In the second round, the Shahid Afridi-led team won both the games they played so far quite comfortably. They are fresh of an 8-wicket win against the Maratha Arabians while chasing a big target of 126. They will now face Punjabi Legends who have been on and off in the tournament.

The Punjabi Legends have struggled for consistency as their captain Luke Ronchi couldn’t strike big with the bat failing to take the thin batting line-up forward. They won both the matches in this tournament in which they bundled out their opponents but that doesn’t make their bowling best performers of the tournament. They ended up conceding the T10 record total of 183 couple of matches ago.
