#3 Shakib Al Hasan (BAN) – 9.0 credits

Bangladesh v England - 1st T20 International

Shakib Al Hasan can be a valuable asset for any team and hence, fantasy users should not leave him out of their teams for the BAN vs AFG match. Although he was not in the best of form with the bat in the ODI series, he picked up four wickets at an economy rate of under three. If he gets going with the bat in the T20Is, the Afghans will find themselves in trouble.

#2 Rashid Khan (AFG) – 9.0 credits

Afghanistan v Sri Lanka - ICC Men's T20 World Cup

Rashid Khan is one of the most skilled T20 cricketers in the world. Apart from being a world-class spinner, he is also an effective batter lower down the order and can play the big shots in the hour of need. He played two matches in the ODI series and picked up four wickets at an average of 12.25 and an economy rate of under three.

#1 Fazalhaq Farooqi (WI) - 8.0 credits

England v Afghanistan - ICC Men's T20 World Cup

Bangladesh batters have always struggled to deal with Fazalhaq Farooqi and hence, he should be picked in fantasy teams for the BAN vs AFG match. He was the leading wicket-taker of the ODI series, having taken eight wickets from three matches at a bowling average of nine. He is a genuine wicket-taker and is expected to shine even in the T20I series.
