Shakib Al Hasan – BAN ($25,460 DraftStars) ($9,000 MoneyBall)

Hardik Pandya – IND ($14,770 DraftStars) ($8,000 MoneyBall)
Indian All-Round Pandya has been scoring consistently solid scores, with 4 of his last 5 games producing fantasy scores at DraftStars over 76.5, while over at MoneyBall all of his last 5 games has produced scores of at least 42.

Fine-leg to Fine-leg
Anyone who’s played a game of grade cricket before knows that only the duds go from fine leg to fine leg. Avoid these guys like the plague.
Mashrafe Mortaza – BAN ($8,000 DraftStars) ($5,100 MoneyBall)
Bangladeshi bowler Mashrafe Mortaza has been largely poor so far this tournament. With the bat he’s scored a total of 11 runs off 16 balls across 3 innings, while taking just 1 wicket from 44 overs bowled. He might be very cheap but he’s also a strong chance of barely registering a score.
