Suggested Team
Rhinos players to watch out for:
Ravi Bopara: The Englishman continues to be a force on the field even at the age of 39. He scored a fine 38-ball 51 in the second game for the Rhinos against Pokhara Avengers. Though he did not bowl in the second match, Bopara’s right medium-pace could turn out to be handy as well.
Sohail Tanvir: Since the first game itself, the Pakistani wrong-foot run-up pacer has not got anything wrong other than his landing foot at the run-up. With five wickets in the first match and three in the second, he is the ideal captaincy choice for any fantasy team.
Rijan Dhakal: Local boy Dhakal has also been in great form. After an economical 1/22 in the first game, he took three wickets in the second and looks set for some more in the upcoming games of this tournament.
Luc Benkenstein: Yet another Englishman and yet another all-rounder. Benkenstein proved what an all-rounder means as even after failing in one department (batting, scored just 16 off 13), he managed to rescue himself with bowling as the 20-year-old leg-break bowler picked 3/37. All his wickets were of batters who were either set or looked threatening enough to take the game away.
Chitwan Rhinos Expected XI: Hassan Eisakhil, Sharad Vesawkar, Bipin Rawal (wk), Santosh Karki, Ravi Bopara, Luc Benkenstein, Kushal Malla ( c ), Deepak Bohara, Amar Routela, Rijan Dhakal, Sohail Tanvir
