What are EMI vs GUL Fantasy Tips?

James Vince got off to a decent start in the tournament, scoring 45 runs in the opener. The English batter has amassed over 9000 runs in T20 cricket, and is a sure shot captaincy pick.
Nicholas Pooran can be among the most destructive batters in world cricket on a given day. The West Indian got off to a good start in the first match, before losing his wicket. He looks poised for a big score on Sunday.
Shimron Hetymer has underperformed in T20 cricket in the past couple of months. With the T20I World Cup just around the corner, the southpaw will certainly look to impress the national selectors.
