The defending champions will lock horns with the tournament’s most successful club in what promises to be one of the best games of this edition. The Tridents have been a bit too reliant on a few players, which cost them their last game by close margins.

What to expect:
Both teams are expected to come up with a balanced XI to counter these tricky batting conditions.
Head to Head/Small league
Go ahead with the usual picks for the small league to play safe and expect better reward.
Mega League
Experiment with the captaincy choices in this one and also go ahead with four bowlers in the fantasy XI.
Sunil Narine: He registered two half-centuries with the bat already and also picked up 3 wickets at an economy under 5.
Rashid Khan: Besides the four crucial wickets he scalped, he also got going with the bat in the first game.
Colin Munro: A slightly uncharacteristic 49-run knock in the last game from Munro, but he’s picking up momentum.
Jason Holder: He has looked solid with the bat, which includes a couple of brilliant cameos. He has been economical with the ball too.
Sunil Narine: Going by form, Sunil Narine is the safest and best pick for captaincy in the small leagues.
Rashid Khan: The Afghan stalwart could reap great rewards to your fantasy team as captain in the mega league.
Colin Munro: He hasn’t picked up pace yet, but Munro as a vice-captain could still be a smart choice.
Ali Khan: The USA fast bowler costs just 8 credits and has been exceptional thus far, picking 3 wickets in 2 games.
Jayden Seales: The new Caribbean teenage sensation Jayden Seales comes at 8 credit points and has picked up 3 wickets thus far.
Kyle Mayers: An experienced campaigner from Barbados, Mayers costs 8 credit points and has already registered over 50 runs in the tournament.
