Analysis:
For Minister Group Dhaka, Tamim Iqbal (73 off 56) and Shuvagata Hom (22 off 11) were the standout performers for the team in their last encounter against Chattogram Challengers. Both the players remain much picked for the fantasy team. The team provides good options in the bowling department in the form of skippers Mahmudullah, Arafat Sunny and Mashrafe Mortaza. Meanwhile, Soumya Sarkar (82 off 62) is a mandatory pick for his all-around performance and considering his super form.
