Playing XI Updates:

Chittagong Vikings:

The Vikings have been clinical throughout the tournament and should make no changes to the side that won against the Rajshahi Kings. Cameron Delport's bowling ability has shone for the Vikings, although they would prefer a big innings from their star overseas player.

Possible XI: Delport, Shahzad(WK), Yasir Ali, Rahim (C), Mosaddek, Najibullah, Nayeem, Frylinck, Khaled, Sunzamul and Abu Jayed.

Rangpur Riders:

After two dominating performances, Rangpur Riders should field the same side that is top heavy with all four overseas players filling up the top order. Mashrafe Mortaza has led the bowling unit admirably and is one player to have an eye on along with Shafiul Islam.

Possible XI: Gayle, Hales, de Villiers, Rossouw, Mithun(WK), Nahidul, Mashrafe(C), Shafiul, Reza, Gazi and Nazmul.

Fantasy Tips and Suggestions:

Wicket-keeper: Both Mithun and Shahzad are in good touch but it should be the Afghan keeper who should make the cut. With Shahzad batting at the top of the order, he is sure to make an impact on the proceedings.

Batsmen: AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle, Mushfiqur Rahim and Yasir Ali are the ideal set of batsmen to be chosen for your fantasy sides.

AB has been brilliant with his lightning quick cameos with a big one just around the corner as is the case with Chris Gayle. Rilee Rossouw is the highest run-scorer of the tournament so far and could slot in for either of AB or Gayle.

All-rounders: Farhad Reza has been one of the stand-out death bowlers in the tournament and has to be included in the team along with Mosaddek Hossain, whose all-round skills are highly effective.

Bowlers: Robert Frylinck has not only shone with the ball, but his batting has taken over Chittagong in more than one occasion.

He is an invaluable pick along with the Rangpur skipper, Mashrafe Mortaza. Shafiul Islam and Khaled Ahmed are also viable picks.

Captain: AB de Villiers and Mushfiqur Rahim are strong options with the whole batting units revolving around the aforementioned duo. Cameron Delport is ready to tee off and could also be a brave pick.
