Top Picks for AFG vs WI Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Cricket Tips:
AFG
Najibullah Zadran managed to score only 6 runs in the last warm-up match against South Africa. He has mustered 1060 runs in his T20I career at an average of 33.12 with a strike rate of 142.28.
Mohammad Nabi gave his everything in the last match against South Africa. Initially, he picked up a wicket, and later on, scored an unbeaten 34* runs from 29 balls, which included 3 sixes.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman was the pick of the bowler for Afghanistan in the last warm-up game against South Africa. He returned with the figures of 3 for 24. He is a good pick for your fantasy teams.
WI
Universe Boss Chris Gayle took his time in the warm-up match against Pakistan, where he scored 20 runs from 30 balls. He is a dangerous batter and it is hard to stop him if he is in full flow.
Dwayne Bravo didn’t feature in the last match against Pakistan. With his variations, he will be a handful, especially at the death. More importantly, he can score runs whichever order he might be playing.
Hayden Walsh is consistently picking wickets for West Indies. Despite going for runs in the last game against Pakistan, he removed Babar Azam and Mohammad Hafeez in consecutive deliveries.
The T20 format is well made for Nicholas Pooran. He didn’t enjoy his stint for Punjab Kings in the IPL, but is still a great T20 cricketer and a must-pick player for your fantasy teams.
