Global T20 Canada 2019: Best Fantasy picks from each team

The much-awaited Global T20 Canada tournament will start from July 25 and will feature some of the biggest T20 superstars from across the globe. The presence of star players has already helped the tournament create a hype among the fans and it will be interesting to see the battles between top players.

All six teams are armed with experienced and skilled T20 performers and here we look at the top fantasy picks from each team.

#6. Colin Munro- Brampton Wolves:

The New Zealand opening batsman didn’t make it big in the World Cup but come the T20 format and he is impossible to not focus on. With three hundreds in T20 cricket, Munro has already established himself as a destructive opener and hence he will be the key for Wolves.

Total matches: 220

Total runs: 5296

Strike rate: 146.54

Average: 29.42

#2. James Neesham-Edmonton Royals:

Royals have a stunning squad that includes Kane Williamson, Faf du Plessis and Mohammad Hafeez. But the key player for them will be James Neesham thanks to his ability to contribute with the bat as well as ball.

He is in good form and can make a huge difference with his powerful hitting in the death overs while medium-pace bowling is a valuable asset.

Total matches: 98

Runs scored: 1387

Batting strike-rate: 138.00

Batting average: 24.76

Bowling economy rate: 8.86

Total wickets taken: 91

#3. Sunil Narine-Montreal Tigers:

In recent times, Narine’s powers have waned but he still remains an effective bowler in the white-ball format.

Narine has immense experience and has control over his variations which makes him hard to pick. The form of Narine will be a key factor for Tigers’ success in this tournament.

And not to forget the damage Narine can inflict with the bat in the Powerplay overs.

Total matches: 326

Total wickets taken: 370

Economy rate: 6.03

#4. Kieron Pollard-Toronto Nationals:

Nationals have a strong bowling line-up while their batting department will revolve around Brendon McCullum and Kieron Pollard.

Pollard especially is crucial for Nationals as he solidifies their middle order. Pollard has experience of playing T20 cricket all over the world and still has the power to send the ball out of the park.

If he gets going, Nationals will be tough to stop.
