Playing XI Updates:

Maratha Arabians:

The Arabians topped the points table in the league phase with Chris Lynn and Lasith Malinga reveling for them. Mitchell McClenaghan should return for Kasun Rajitha with the rest of the side remaining unchanged. Adam Lyth and Najibullah Zadran have done well in the batting unit with Yuvraj Singh also striking form in the previous game. With Dwayne Bravo's experience also coming in handy, Marathas are in prime position to make it to the final of the T10 League 2019.

Possible XI: Lynn, Lyth, Walton(WK), Najibullah, Yuvraj, Shanaka, Hasaranga, Malinga, Bravo(C), McClenaghan/Rajitha and Shiraz

Qalandars:

Not much is known about Tom Banton and Chris Jordan's injuries heading into this game. Nevertheless, both of them could feature with Peter Trego and Jordan Clark making way for them. Tom Kohler-Cadmore's form in the middle order bodes well for the Qalandars with Salt and Malan in good knick as well. With Mujeeb and Lahiru Kumara in good wicket-taking form, they should be able to complement George Garton, who is in fine form with the ball.

Possible XI: Banton/Trego, Malan(C), Salt(WK), Evans, Clark/Jordan, Cadmore, Kumara, Sultan, Mujeeb, Garton and Prasanna.

Fantasy Tips and Suggestions:

Wicket-keeper: Philip Salt is the preferred choice for this spot with no viable option available on the other roster. The Sussex opener has shown glimpses of what he is capable of and will be one to watch out for in this game.

Batsmen: Chris Lynn and Dawid Malan are must haves in the side. Chris Lynn has scored over 250 runs this season and leads the run-scoring charts as well. Along with the aforementioned duo, the likes of Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Dasun Shanaka also find a place in the side. Yuvraj Singh also hit a few boundaries in the previous game which holds him in good stead.

All-rounders: Dwayne Bravo and George Garton have starred with the ball in hand this season. While Bravo hasn't accounted more many wickets with economical spells being his USP, Garton has eleven wickets to his name. Along with the two, Jordan Clark could also be opted for in this game.

Bowlers: Lasith Malinga has only two wickets to show for this efforts although the stalwart's economy reads 7.80. He should put in a commendable performance in this knockout game along with Shiraz Ahmed. One of Mujeeb ur Rahman or Lahiru Kumara should suffice as the lone representative from the Qalandars side.

Captain: Chris Lynn's form makes him an automatic choice for captaincy. Along with the Aussie, Dawid Malan and Dwayne Bravo's experience should also shine through in such a high-stakes game on Saturday. If one were to pick a bowling option from the Qalandars, George Garton fits the bill.

Fantasy Suggestion #1: Philip Salt, Chris Lynn, Najibullah Zadran, Dawid Malan, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Dwayne Bravo, George Garton, Lasith Malinga, Shiraz Ahmed, Dasun Shanaka and Mujeeb ur Rahman. Captain: Chris Lynn, Vice-Captain: Dawid Malan

Fantasy Suggestion #2: Philip Salt, Yuvraj Singh, Chris Lynn, Dasun Shanaka, Dawid Malan, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Dwayne Bravo, George Garton, Lasith Malinga, Shiraz Ahmed and Mujeeb ur Rahman. Captain: Dawid Malan, Vice-Captain: Dwayne Bravo
