SGH vs FCT best players to pick for ECS T10 Kiel fantasy team
Top Tip: Best batsmen
Opening batsman Akila Rajapaskshe was the star for SGH in the last game, where he scored 49 runs off 27 balls to help his team chase a target of 76 runs. The batsman has 105 fantasy points so far and will be a valuable player for any fantasy team owner.
In their last game, FCT captain Sharif Safi brought some stability in the middle-order by hitting 38 runs in 25 balls. Safi is expected to continue his good run and is the right player to keep in the team now.

Sadam Sherzad has been the go-to bowler from the FCT camp this season. His two-fer against KHTC in the last match kept the opposition in check. Sherzad has six wickets this season so far with 258 points.
Top-Tip: Best all-rounder and wicketkeeper
SGH's Rizwan Babar would make for a good all-rounder option as well, particularly for his batting prowess down the order. Apart from his four wickets this season, the 27-year-old has also tallied 50 runs in three matches.
FCT's wicket-keeper Akbar Jabarkhel is turning out to be a handy option for his team this season. The 27-year-old has played some handy knocks this season, especially his 15-ball 25 cameo against MTSV. Jabarkhel can bowl as well, which makes him a prolific point-getter. In three matches so far, Jabarkhel has garnered 122 points.
