Hot Picks For ABF vs SLK 5th Match Dream11 Team Today

Antigua & Barbuda Falcons

Imad Wasim

  • CPL 2025 Form: 1 wicket and 27 runs in 2 innings
  • Though Imad Wasim is not in his best shape, the all-rounder and skipper of Antigua can rack up explosive fantasy points in both departments if he gains his rhythm.

Shakib Al Hasan

  • CPL 2025 Form: 24 runs from 2 matches; SR: 82.76
  • Shakib Al Hasan is a veteran all-rounder who can turn the tide of a game with both the bat and the ball. Hence, he can be a good fantasy option to maximise impact.

Fabian Allen

  • CPL 2025 Form: 23 runs from 2 matches; SR: 143.75
  • Fabian Allen can be a strong lower-middle-order support who can prove decisive for Antigua. Though he is yet to shine in CPL, the upcoming clash promises him as a risky pick for a fantasy team.

St Lucia Kings

Roston Chase

  • Recent Form: 138 runs and 3 wickets from last 3 innings
  • Roston Chase is in red-hot form after the Pakistan series, and the T20 format can bring out the best in him and help Dream11 players to rack up maximum fantasy points.

Tim David

  • Recent Form: 150 runs from last 3 matches; SR: 176.47
  • Tim David has been hitting the balls out of the park in his recent outings and is in ravishing form. If he features with the bat, he can be a strong player for the fantasy team.

Tim Seifert

  • Recent Form: 196 runs from last 5 innings; SR: 138.03
  • Seifert last appeared in the Zimbabwe tri-series and was explosive with the bat. With two fifties in the series, Seifert now promises explosive batting for St Lucia in the upcoming clash.

How The Weather Will Affect Selection For Your Fantasy XI?

According to AccuWeather, conditions on August 17 night are expected to be partly to mostly cloudy at the match venue, with the temperature dipping to 26°C. Winds from the southeast will blow at 11 km/h which could still challenge aerial shots and fielders under high balls.

The chance of rain remains minimal, with only a 10% probability of precipitation and just 1% likelihood of thunderstorms. No measurable rainfall is expected, while heavy cloud cover of around 95% may still provide swing bowlers with some assistance under the lights.

How Will Sir Vivian Richards Stadium's Pitch In Antigua Affect Your Fantasy Team?

The Sir Vivian Richards Stadium has produced mixed results in T20Is, often challenging batters more than favouring them. While the venue has seen a few high-scoring games, it has also witnessed collapses. Bowlers have regularly found assistance, keeping average first-innings totals around the 130–140 mark.

Batters will need to adjust to the conditions and build their innings carefully before accelerating. Captains winning the toss are likely to prefer bowling first, looking to exploit any early help on offer and then chase with clarity under lights.

Sir Vivian Richards Stadium – Record Of The Chasing Team

Across 12 CPL games at this venue, chasing sides have won the game 10 times, while teams batting first have won 2 times only. The first match played here in CPL 2025 saw the chasing team winning the match.
