Key Players:
Mohammad Mithun – 8 Cr
First in the list of key players features Bangladesh's Mohammad Mithun. The right-handed batsman is the most in-form visitors' batsman on the tour as he has already scored 119 runs in two innings at an impressive average of 59.50, which shows why he should be in your team for the match on Wednesday. The 27-year-old has played 15 ODIs in his career, where he has scored 360 runs at an average of 32.72, which included four half-centuries as well.
Martin Guptill – 10 Cr
Second in the list of key players features New Zealand's Martin Guptill. The right-hander is in the form of his life as he has already back-to-back centuries in the two games of the series so far, which is why he is the leading run-scorer with 235 runs at an average of 235, that too at a strike-rate of 115.19. Those numbers suggest that Guptill, who is valued at 10 Cr, is the player to have in your team. The 32-year-old has played 168 ODIs for Black Caps, where he has scored 6,411 runs at an impressive average of 43.61 and strike-rate of 87.52.
Lockie Ferguson – 8.5 Cr
Last in the list of key players features New Zealand's Lockie Ferguson. The right-arm pacer is in more than decent form with the ball in hand where he is the leading wicket-taker with five scalps in two matches at an outstanding average of 17.40. Therefore, Ferguson, who is valued at 8.5 Cr, might not prove to be a bad selection for your team.
