Grand League Punts
> Mujeeb is in pretty good form, having taken 4 wickets in the last 2 matches. He also has a very good record against Pakistan, averaging 21.66 with the ball, having taken 9 wickets in 5 ODIs. Two of Pakistan's top three, Babar and Imam, have a SR of just 55 and 71 against him, respectively. He could potentially be a wildcard choice for captain, especially at a venue like Chennai.
