Editor’s Pick (PKL)

As the number of days to the next round reduces, the strategy used by the teams will increase. There is more tension in the air. Both for the players, the coach and for us fantasy players on this app. Let’s take a look at the status of the four teams playing today. First match - Bengaluru versus UP. Bengaluru is last on Zone B and don’t have a prayer of hope to make it to the next round. They can still do some damage if they try. Like we saw at the Champions Trophy. UP is third on the table. They do look quite good where they are today.

Bengaluru Bulls - Squad strength: 18 (16 Indian, 2 Overseas)

Defenders –  Ravinder Pahal, Sachin Kumar, Navjot Singh, Pradeep Narwal, Kuldeep Singh, Mahender Singh

I found this lineup harder. Had to drop a couple of good players like Rajesh Mondal and Dharmaraj. Wish I did not have a limit on the salary. Oh well.
