Nicholas Pooran had a good CPL season last time around, scoring 263 runs in 11 matches. He has now made the move to the Trinbago Knight Riders and is expected to bat in the top order.

Top All-rounder Pick

Sunil Narine (10 CPL 2021 matches, 12 wickets)

Sunil Narine has been in top form all year, picking 37 wickets at an average of 24.80. He has conceded less than run-a-ball in 2022 despite playing in The Hundred, T20 Blast and IPL, where pitches have generally been good for batting. With Narine boasting a T20 strike rate of 167.6 this year, he is a must-have in your SLK vs TKR Dream11 fantasy team.

Top Bowler Pick
