Wicket-Keeper
Saanu Stephen (9.0 Cr) has not got the chance to showcase his batting skills but his ability to add wickets has been focused on his performance which could lead to improvements in the upcoming matches.
Sherjeel Tahir Iqbal (7.5 Cr) has shown brilliant resilience but was not able to perform in a similar form that should allow him to bounce back with his improving form in this contest.
Batsman
Clinto Anto (6.0 Cr) is an impressive run-scorer with 55 runs in the last 2 matches which should allow him to create consistent chances to make his performance better in this fixture.
Imran Kaskar (7.0 Cr) was able to score decent runs to help the middle order but lacks the consistency which could change in the upcoming matches of the tournament.
Hassan Arif (6.5 Cr) was rested in the last 3 games but his contributions in the matches prior should push him to make his way back to the starting 11 in this match.
All-rounders
Parvinder Kumar (7.0 Cr) scored 22 runs at a strike rate of 275 along with 2 wickets at an economy rate of 10 in the last match which should keep him motivated to give his all in this crucial encounter.

Kashif Shareef (7.0 Cr) has provided fantastic contributions in the last 2 games with a total of 75 runs and 2 wickets to keep him in a strong form which makes him our prime choice for this match.
Bowlers
Pradeep Wasantha Kumaranayaka (8.5 Cr) has picked 4 wickets in the last 5 games that can continue to boost his form to continue with his current form that should allow him to break important partnerships.
Ashen Sangeeth (7.5Cr) has the potential to provide decent runs at the tail end of the batting order along with his bowling potential which can improve his performance in this match.
Abdul Nabeel Ghafoor (7.0 Cr) can make his presence known as he has done throughout the competition with a total of 5 wickets in the last 3 games which should keep him focused on this contest.
