Grand League Punts

> Matheesha Pathirana has been the best death overs bowler this season. He has 16 wickets in that phase alone along with an economy of only 7.8. Not only you can pick him, but you can also appoint him the captain or vice-captain of your side given his consistent form. 

> Mohammad Shami has picked 12 wickets in seven games at the Narendra Modi Stadium this season at an economy of only 6.8. Hence, he can be your vice-captain to his wicket-taking abilties.

> Shami has dismissed Devon Conway thrice for only five runs in T20 cricket. Hence, there is a case of dropping Conway and probably pick Wriddhima Saha as your wicketkeeper if you like to take calculated risks.
