AMS vs PLO: Dream 11 Top Picks
Kevin D’Souza
A power-hitter par excellence, D’Souza is a nightmare for any bowler if he spends substantial time in the middle. His monstrous strike rate of over 200 illustrates his potential to turn the tide in a game singlehandedly.
Ali Rasool
The teenage sensation has been an asset for AMS as he has the caliber to bowl tight as well as pick wickets in crucial junctures of the match. His economy over 7 makes him his skipper’s perfect attacking option who therefore could apply speed brakes on any batter’s carnage as well might bag a breakthrough in that process.
Saim Hussain
PLO’s flamboyant wicket-keeper batter, Saim Hussain will be the player to watch for in Tuesday’s cracking contest. The swashbuckling opener enjoys playing in Sofia and will definitely be upbeat to give his team a flying start in the riveting battle.

Match Prediction: Who Will Win?
Both sides are in red hot form but on paper, Academic – MU Sofia has a clear edge over BSCU – MU Plovdiv.
