The Giants have played two games and won one while the Lions have won two out of the three games so far. Misbah-ul-Haq's Asia Lions also have a healthy edge over the two teams in terms of the net run rate. Nonetheless, Darren Sammy's Giants won't take too much pressure and will look for a win to better their position.

Key Players

Analysis

Upul Tharanga has shown some great batting skills to bail Asia Lions out of trouble. Asghar Afghan also came to the party in their last game against India Maharajas. Dilshan is always a good pick for a fantasy team. Misbah-l-Haq has also shown some decent form. Meanwhile, Kevin Pietersen, Darren Sammy, Kevin O'Brien are good picks from the World Giants squad. Bowlers have not enjoyed a great time but Muttiah Muralitharan, Morne Morkel, and Kulasekara can fetch some valuable points.
