World Giants
Kevin Pietersen: When we talk about dominating batting, Kevin Pietersen comes to our mind. That’s the style of play of this Englishman. He is expected to open the innings for the Giants and should the batter to go for. He has scored 5,695 runs in T20 cricket in the 200 games he has played.
Corey Anderson: The Kiwi all-rounder has been playing T20 cricket for various T20 franchises and that should help his performance. As he is an all-rounder he can contribute with both bat and ball and that should help in earning Fantasy points. He has 36 wickets and 2,770 runs in T20 cricket.
Imran Tahir: The world-class leg spinner is one of the highly anticipated bowlers of the tournament. He has been a regular in all the T20 leagues and his leg-spin can be lethal in dry wickets of Oman. With 435 T20 wickets, he is known to be a giant of this format.
Asia Lions
Sanath Jayasuriya: The former Sri Lankan captain is expected to play this game after missing out against Maharajas. He is expected to earn a lot of Fantasy Points with his batting at the top and handy bowling. Jayasuriya has 683 runs in this format and he was known to be a hard-hitting batter.
Upul Tharanga: After scoring a tremendous 66 off 46 balls in the first encounter, Tharanga is expected to carry the same form. Also, as World Giants’ both spinners will turn the ball in for left-hander, Tharanga can get big runs.

The pacer bowled a brilliant spell against India Maharajas and picked up a wicket while going for just 21 runs. He is expected to trouble the batters again with his pace and should earn a good amount of Fantasy Points.
