Wasim the new Dhani?
A spin bowler has never won top PSL bowler. So that makes second-favourite Rashid Khan a stinker at 6/1.
Shaheen Shah Afridi, second last year and a winner the season before, is a fair favourite at 4/1. He will surely be there or thereabouts.
But on strike rates he is not the threat you might think. The list throws up some surprising names. So James Faulkner at 25/1 is no mug wager. We prefer him at 7s for top Quetta.
Shahnawaz Dhani, last term's top man, goes again for Multan. He is8/1. Often a pacer comes from 'nowhere' like Dhani. Mind you it wouldn't be a surprise if Mohamamd Wasim was the latest pace star. The Islamabad tyro is 25/1.
