Analysis
The Harare pitch will offer runs to the batters, so having more of them in the fantasy XI will earn valuable points. From the Indian camp, captain KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill, and Deepak Hooda will be really good choices for the fantasy team as these have the caliber to score runs. Meanwhile, from the hosts’ camp, Sikandar Raza, Innocent Kaia, and captain Regis Chakabva can be picked.
In bowling, spinners will be crucial so having the likes of Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Madhevere, and Victor Nyuachi can prove to be wise. Bowlers like Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur can also earn valuable points.
