Fantasy XI
Batters: Kohli, Yadav, Zaman and Shah

The openers have failed to fire so far. Thus, Kohli will act as the opener in this clash, thanks to his decent form, with Yadav firing at number three, while Zaman and Shah can be perfect fits in the middle.

Wicketkeeper: Rizwan (vc)
He is the only opener in great form and is expected to fire again in this clash. His reliability makes him the deputy captain.

All-rounders: Pandya (c), Shadab and Nawaz
Pandya is a no-brainer here due to his excellent form, making him the skipper. While Shadab has been decent across departments, Nawaz has been the same in the competition.

Bowlers: Bhuvneshwar, Arshdeep and Naseem
All three seamers have been sensational and are must-haves in the line-up, given their ability to impact under any given conditions.
