Andre Russell: Andre Russell is the most popular captaincy option for this game. Russell will contribute with both bat and ball, and his recent form has also been good. Expect him to make an impact again.
James Vince: James Vince will open the innings. His recent form has been top-notch and can utilise the field restrictions. Expect him to play well again.
Carlos Brathwaite: Carlos Brathwaite bowled brilliantly in the previous game. Brathwaite’s bowling will again be effective in Abu Dhabi. He can also fetch a few points with the willow.

Zuhaib Zubair: Zuhaib Zubair might not be as effective and can be avoided for this game.
