Middle Order:

The middle order of the Capitals has the likes of Shanaka, Khalid Shah, and Sikandar Raza. Shanaka will be handy with the ball apart from being a good anchor with the bat. Khalid Shah can anchor the innings from his end as well. The star of the middle order is Sikandar who can bridge the gap between the middle order and the lower middle order batter.
