Key Players

Analysis

Mohammad Rizwan and Shan Masood put on a show against Lahore Qalandars as they stitch a 150-run partnership to set a record-breaking chase for Sultans. Captain Rizwan has continued from where he left off and notched up two half-centuries in two games. Soo, he becomes an automatic pick. On the other hand, Gladiators' openers have also impressed in the two games so far. Ahsan Ali, in particular, has been really impressive at the top of the order. Khushdil Shah finds a place for his scoring abilities while Sohaib Maqsood also looks like a good choice. Naseem Shah will be fuming after his five-wicket haul in the last match. Thus, he should also be included in the fantasy team.
