Key Players:


Mushfiqur Rahim – 10 Cr

First in the list of key players features Bangladesh's Mushfiqur Rahim. The wicketkeeper-batsman is in great form with the bat lately in the 50-over format and is now one of the best in his role. In the series opener, the 31-year-old showed great maturity in difficult conditions and guided the team home with an unbeaten 55, which shows why he is the player to have in your team. Rahim, who is valued at 10 Cr, has already scored 692 runs in 17 innings at an average of 53.23 in the calendar year, which included one century and four fifties.

Shakib Al Hasan – 10 Cr

Second in the list of key players features Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan. The 31-year-old is a great servant of Bangladesh cricket and is one of the leading all-rounder in all three formats. Even though Al Hasan had a mixed outing in the series opener, where he scored 30 runs with the bat and claimed figures of one for 36 with the ball, he is still the man to be in your team come Tuesday as he has an outstanding record while playing in Dhaka, where he has 2,407 runs and 113 wickets to his name in 79 matches.

Roston Chase – 8.5 Cr

Last in the list features West Indies' Roston Chase. The 26-year-old is relatively new in the 50-over format but has shown his skills in the longest format of the game, which is why he is highly-rated within the team ranks. Therefore, Chase, who is valued at 8.5 Cr, might not be a bad option to put your money on. In the series opener, Chase scored 32 off 38 balls with the bat, whereas in the bowling department, claimed figures of two for 47.
