G11-Fantasy Cricket Prediction for Today's Match

New Zealand's left arm spinner Mitchell Santner has been nominated for Player of the October Month. He took 13 wickets in both innings against India in the Pune Test. On the basis of this performance, New Zealand won the second Test and the series.

Along with Santner, Pakistan's left arm spinner Noman Ali and South Africa's pacer Kagiso Rabada are also in the race to win the award. Rabada performed brilliantly against Bangladesh and Noman against England.

Santner was the Player of the Match

Santner could play only one match in the Test series against India, but in this match he gave a game changing performance. Santner took 7 wickets for just 59 runs in the first innings. He then took 6 wickets in the second innings and stopped India from chasing the target of 359 runs.

The 32-year-old spinner took wickets in the match by bowling at an average of just 12.07. Not only this, he also scored 33 runs in the first innings. He was given the Player of the Match award in Pune for his all-round performance. He could not play the third Test due to injury.

Rabada gave his best in Bangladesh

South Africa's right arm pacer Kagiso Rabada took 14 wickets in 2 Tests against Bangladesh last month. He took wickets at an average of just 9, which includes a 5-wicket haul in 2 innings. In both innings of the first match, he took 9 wickets for just 72 runs.

The 29-year-old fast bowler then took 5 wickets for 37 runs in the second Test. On the basis of this performance, South Africa won the second match by an innings margin. Rabada received the Player of the Series award for taking 14 wickets.

Noman had given Pakistan 2 victories over England

38-year-old left-arm spinner Noman Ali took 20 wickets in 2 Tests against England last month at an average of 13.85. On the basis of this performance, Pakistan won the last 2 matches after trailing 1-0 in the series against England and won the series 2-1.

Noman took 11 wickets for 147 runs in the first match and 9 wickets for 130 runs in the second Test. Noman also gave his team a lead of 77 runs by scoring 45 runs in the second Test. Along with him, Sajid Khan also took 18 wickets in the series. Due to the performance of both, Pakistan won a Test at home after 3 years.

Players from 3 different countries are also included in the women's

For the Women's Player of the Month Award, the names of 1 player each from New Zealand and South Africa are also included. All-rounder Amelia Kerr, who was part of the T20 World Cup winning team, has the strongest claim. After her, South Africa captain batter Laura Wolvaardt and West Indies all-rounder Deandra Dottin are also in the race.
