ENG vs USA Differential Picks

Adil Rashid (ENG)

• The leg-spinner has bowled a couple of decent spells in the tournament. However, inconsistency has been a concern for him, and thus, Adil Rashid will be in the differential picks.  

Saurabh Netravalkar (USA)

• The left-arm seamer has impressed a lot with the ball in the tournament. However, Netravalkar has not regularly been among the wickets and, hence, will be a differential choice  for the match.
