Dependable Picks:
Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan
The skipper has played match-winning knocks like a 100 and 89 against Eng, 79*, and 55 in NZ in the last few weeks after having a horrible outing in the Asia cup. He is a run machine and should be your automatic choice in the D3.club.
Similarly, his partner Rizwan has been of the most consistent batters in t20is and holds the record of scoring the most runs (1300+) in a calendar year. He has 11 50+ scores in the last 21 innings.
Sikandar Raza
Raza is the leading run-getter with 652 runs and the highest wicket-taker 20 wickets for Zimbabwe in T20Is in 2022. It has been a memorable year for him in white cricket with performances in ODIs against India and Australia recently. He was the go-to man for Zimbabwe in the qualifiers with 82(48) against Ireland, 40 (23) against Scotland, and picked 5 wickets at an economy of 6. His experience with the bat and the ability to pick wickets in the middle order should fetch you a lot of points in the D3.club.
Differential Picks:
Blessing Muzarabani
Pak's opening duo especially Babar has been found wanting against him on many occasions and has dismissed him quite a few times in Intl cricket. Muzarabani spell along with Chatara and Ngarava could spell fresh trouble for the proteas early on in their innings
Naseem Shah
Shaheen Afridi looked a bit off-color in the early spell against Pak and the onus of causing damage lies completely with Naseem in this case. Naseem did that in the last game against Ind where he sent KL Rahul on a cheap score.
Punter’s Corner- Risky Picks
Shadab Khan
He is Pakistan's best fielder and vice-captain of the side. He is often promoted in the batting order and has won Pakistan a couple of games with the bat in the last couple of months. Add to that his 4-over economical spells in every game. He is a complete package in t20s and it's a high-risk high reward situation if he is in your D3.club.
Wesley Madhevere
He was the difference between Zim facing a loss and escaping with an NR against SA. His late exploits helped Zim to a decent score and didn't allow SA to reach Zimbabwe's score before the rain kicked it in. Similarly, we could also bank on Luke Jongwe who could contribute to both departments.
