ICC World Cup 2019: Two Windies players who can make or break your ICC Dream11 Fantasy season

The Windies might not be considered as one of the best teams in the world at present but they are one of the most favored teams in terms of fantasy potential. Fantasy managers will fancy the Caribbean players a lot during the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019.

Their squad has a vast potential for fantasy points in each and every department and many of those players can be chosen as alternatives to top players from top teams. However, there are some Windies players whom you can't choose to overlook at all.

If you pick them at the right time, they will reward you handsomely with raining points. However, if you miss out on them, they have the ability to ruin both of your daily and season fantasy aspirations. So, who are those players who can make or break your season in the blink of an eye? Let's have a look.

Chris Gayle

The Jamaican batsman has been one of the most dangerous and explosive batsmen over the last couple of decades and is still a force to reckon with. He smashed 424 runs in the five match ODI series at home against England and was in good form in the IPL too, where he scored 490 runs at an average of 40.83 and a strike-rate of 153.60. His 22-ball knock of 36 runs in the warm-up game against New Zealand also suggested that he has carried his good run of form into this tournament as well. His aggressive nature of play and vulnerability to swinging conditions might suggest that he is a risky fantasy pick. He might disappoint you as well on somedays but no other batsman has the ability to reward you like Gayle if he gets going. While you can still choose the ideal rounds to pick him in classic fantasy mode, you should not dare to overlook him in your daily fantasy team.

Andre Russell

Russell is another player like Gayle who has the ability to change the course of your fantasy season in the space of just one match. He is also coming into this tournament on the back of a superb IPL season in which he scored 510 runs at an excellent average of 56.66 and a humongous strike-rate of 204.81. He claimed 11 wickets during the IPL in addition to that as well and once again showed what he is capable of with a 25-ball knock of 54 runs in the warm-up match against New Zealand on Tuesday. Moreover, his ODI career strike-rate of 130.45 is the highest of all time. Also, an ODI batting average of 28.71 is pretty good for anyone who mostly bats at No. 6 or 7 and his bowling strike-rate of 33.4 suggests that he is capable of taking a wicket every six overs. His skills can go totally unutilized in some matches, as he bats lower down the order and bowls mostly when other bowlers fail, thereby leading to a nothing of a fantasy score at all. However, he is a beast of a player and you wouldn't want to end up on the wrong end of his ownership on his day.
