Expert free tip for MUL vs KAR Dream11

1. Babar Azam is the safest captaincy choice. His T20 records are unmatchable.
2. On their day, Alex Hales and Rillie Rossow can be very dangerous. They are pretty good captaincy options to try out in Mega Contests.
3. Ravi Bopara is a seasoned T20 campaigner, so is Sohail Tanvir. Both of them are must-haves in your fantasy sides.
4. Young bowler Mohammad Ilyas impressed in the league stages. He is a great wild card option to gamble within the mega contest.
5. Multan’s batting relies heavily on the shoulders of Shan Masood. Bet on him to deliver as he did in league stages.
