Suggested TeamRhinos players to watch out for:
Sohail Tanvir: The man with the first-ever five-wicket haul in NPL, veteran Pakistan pacer Sohail Tanvir should be the first name in your fantasy team. Having played across the globe, Tanvir showed his prowess in the first game against the Gurkhas, and he is sure to have an impact in this game as well.

Rijan Dhakal: Opening the bowling with Tanvir, Rijan Dhakal, too, played a pivotal role in his side's victory. He built the pressure in the first over, allowing Tanvir to do the damage from the other end. The 25-year-old did his job, giving away just 22 runs in his spell and also chipped in with a wicket. He will hope to play a bigger role in this game.
Sharad Vesawkar: 36-year-old Sharad Vesawkar has seen it all in Nepal cricket, and his experience was crucial in the first game. He scored an unbeaten 11 off 21 deliveries, but more importantly, he put on a match-winning stand with Santosh Kharki after his side were in a spot of bother. He absorbed the pressure and took his team home in the end. More of the same?
Expected XI for Chitwan Rhinos:
Hassan Eisakhil, Deepak Bohara, Luc Benkenstein, Kushal Malla (c), Ravi Bopara/Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Santosh Karki, Sharad Vesawkar, Bipin Rawal (wk), Amar Routela, Rijan Dhakal, Sohail Tanvir
