Top Picks for KHP vs NOR National T20 Cup Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Cricket Tips:
KHP
Mohammad Rizwan missed the last few games but was in top form before that, and for a while now. While he has scored runs in the tournament, he has looked a shadow of himself. Rizwan has scored 210 runs at an average of 30. He will be looking to play a big one tonight.
Shaheen Afridi is a quality bowler and looks to attack and pick wickets. The left-armer has bagged 12 wickets in the 6 games he played in the tournament. He has rested well and would be fresh for this game. Despite playing less, he is joint 2nd in the list of top wicket-takers in the tournament.
Sahibzada Farhan is a key top-order batter for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. With 368 runs from ten matches, he has had an excellent tournament until now.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’ star all-rounder Iftikhar Ahmed has had a tournament to remember. He has contributed with both bat and ball and that makes him a must-have pick. The experienced all-rounder starred with a cracking fifty and one wicket against the same opposition on Monday. Overall, he has produced 319 runs and four wickets from ten matches.
Experienced right-arm pacer Imran Khan has been a consistent wicket-taker for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He picked up two more wickets in the last match to take his overall tally to 15 wickets from ten matches.
Asif Afridi is a handy left-arm spinner who can also bat. He has taken 12 wickets from ten matches until now.
No.3 batsman Kamran Ghulam struck a fine century in the previous match against the same opposition. His 64-ball 110 helped Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to a very comfortable win. The onus will be on him to deliver with the bat once again.
NOR
Haider Ali is a top young talent who does his job well. He bats in the top 3, scores runs, and at pace. He started the tournament with a half-century (58*) and has continued the fine run to accumulate 317 runs. He was rested for the last game and would be coming in fresh for this game as he looks set for another big one.
Mohammad Nawaz is a utility all-round player. He bowls his left-arm spin either in the powerplay or middle phases of the game and is looking for wickets. He has picked up 8 wickets in the tournament. He has played a key role with the bat as well, scoring 216 runs at an average of 54 and with a strike rate of 145.
Attacking opening batsman Ali Imran got off to a quick start but failed to capitalise. However, he is still a valuable pick considering his potential at the top of the order. He has contributed 157 runs and one wicket from five matches.
Haris Rauf is among the top wicket-takers for Pakistan and he will have a role to play in this game. He typically bowls at the death and has bagged 9 wickets in the 6 games he has played in the tournament. He will be a force to reckon with.
Shadab Khan is one of the top Pakistani all-rounders in shorter format but he wasn’t at his best at the start of the tournament, however, in what is good news for his side, he did pick up some form before the recent rest. He has 94 runs and 4 wickets to his name.
Sohail Tanvir has picked up 4 wickets in this tournament so far. He will be among the top fantasy picks for this match once again. He will be aiming for another successful outing here.
Wicket-keeper batsman Rohail Nazir regained his lost touch with a quick cameo of 34 runs on Monday. He will be the lone keeper for this match.
