T20 Blast 2022 | Gloucestershire vs Somerset | Fantasy Tips

It’s a big day for cricket fans, as the action won’t stop as India faces South Africa in the first t20, and the neighbouring continent will see Gloucestershire lock horns against Somerset in the 60th fixture of the Vitality T20 Blast.

 

If you love non-stop action with batters smoking the ball out of the park, T20 Blast is your go-to destination. With sixes flying out of the park, it’s not just the runs, but it’s raining cash for the fans as well. 

 

We have a list of names that could provide you with the profit in the fantasy contests; after all, more rewards never hurts, does it!? In addition, we have a list of names that will help you build the ultimate fantasy lineup.

 

Firing on all cylinders...


Rilee Rossouw: He’s going all guns blazing this season. No one seems to have found the kryptonite for the Protea batter as he’s smashed 278 runs in five games with a tremendous strike rate of 191.72, with a towering average of 92.67. He’s been smashing it out of the park, and it would be a mistake to expect anything less from the batter.

 

David Payne: The bowler has been in some form when you look at his stats. He’s got 13 wickets in five games with an economy of 7.47; Payne has picked a minimum of two wickets per game which shows how good he has been with the ball in the batter’s league.

 

Josh Davey: The Somerset bowler has impressive numbers so far this season. He’s picked ten wickets in his five outings with a strike rate of 17, which is nothing short of outstanding; while he did go wicketless in the last outing, it would be very early to write him off.

 

Will Smeed: The twenty-year-old has proved his mettle this season with his performances for Somerset. He’s scored 200 runs, with a staggering strike rate of 176.99 and an average of 50. The Somerset batter is a sure addition to any fantasy lineup.


Back them, cause it might be their day...


Glenn Phillips: The wicket-keeper batter scored 127 runs in five games, with 90 coming in the last two games. The Blackcap will be looking to make an impact and prove his worth, and he’s almost certain to build on his momentum from here.

 

Ben Green: He’s coming off a fiver in his last game. Do we need any more reasons to have him in your fantasy lineup? If you need some, Green has picked up nine wickets in his five outings and has always picked a wicket in his last three outings, and it is a smart pick to have him on your fantasy team.

Pakistan pacer Mohammad Hasnain cleared to bowl in International Cricket

Pakistan's young pacer Mohammad Hasnain has been cleared to bowl in international cricket once again after he rectified his bowling action, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed on Thursday (June 09). Hasnain's bowling action has been given a green signal as the amount of his elbow extension was dropped within the limit of 15 degrees from 17-24 degrees. His bowling action was declared illegal on February 4 while playing in Australia's Big Bash League (BBL). Later, it was confirmed that the Pakistan pacer's action had breached the 'ICC's 15-degree limit for elbow extension' as his elbow extension for his good length delivery, full-length delivery, slow bouncer, and bouncer surpassed the allowable limits. "As such, he can now resume bowling in international cricket and all domestic cricket worldwide," the PCB statement read. Earlier, the PCB assigned its high-performance coach, Umar Rasheed, to work with the young pacer at Lahore's High-Performance Centre to help him amend his bowling action. The right-arm speedster had bowled over 5000 balls and practised shadow bowling to work on his faulty action. However, the pacer's new bowling action remains the same with his wrist, arm rotation and landing being tweaked, allowing him to avoid a jerk and bowl with consistent and repeatable action. Hasnain, who had to opt-out of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in January after playing a few matches due to faulty bowling action, hasn't played competitive cricket since the suspension. The pacer has featured in 8 One Day International (ODIs) and 18 T20 International (T20Is) for Pakistan and has scalped 12 and 17 wickets, respectively. Hasnain also has a T20I hat-trick to his name. Earlier, he was slotted into the Sydney Sixers squad as a replacement for English fast bowler Saqib Mahmood and lived up to the expectations as he took three wickets while conceding only 20 runs on his BBL debut. Rasheed, who has helped the 22-year old to remodel his bowling action at Lahore's High-Performance Centre, is pretty sure about Hasnain's comeback in international cricket.
