Promising opener Aiden Markram was the star of the show on Day 3 of the first Test between South Africa and Pakistan. The U-19 WC winning captain scored a resilient fifty in testing conditions as he registered a near 3% increase on Thursday alone. He was well-supported by Rassie van der Dussen, who himself scored a fifty to boost his match score to 50.11. RVD's match score is second to only Kagiso Rabada's among the Sixer Players at the time of writing. Rabada picked his 200th wicket in Tests yesterday with his price already up by 5% in this game, courtesy of a three-wicket haul. However, the same isn't case with Shaheen Afridi, whose match score reads a sorry 22.57 although he is well and truly capable of overturning his fortunes in a matter of a few overs!Apart from the Pakistan-South Africa Test, the all-important BBL finals kick off today with the Adelaide Strikers taking on the Brisbane Heat at the Gabba. While Chris Lynn and Alex Carey, who are the more known entities in this format lock horns, there's the curious case of Marnus Labuschagne in the T20 format. Discarded by many as just a red-ball specialist, Labuschagne has come a long way in proving his critics wrong in the ongoing BBL. In fact, he is leading the Heat charge to the finals and is doing it with aplomb. But has he done enough to be a force to reckon with in the T20 format as well? Here's some much-needed insight to kickstart your day in the Sixer Market!Not Just A Red-Ball Specialist - Labuschagne Up by 30.9% in BBL 2021!Marnus Labuschagne's rise to prominence is a story for the ages. Having made his BBL debut in 2017, Marnus wasn't rated by many to make a significant impact. Even during his first Test tour of the UAE, he was seen as a liability. He was dropped in the subsequent series against India, which forced him to discover his Midas touch while playing in the English domestic circuit. And to think that Labuschagne would have been a relative unknown if not for Steve Smith's concussion injury is absurd! Since then, Labuschagne has averaged a match score over 60 in Tests and risen to the great heights in the international circuit. He has even made his name in the ODIs as well although many seem to think he doesn't have the power game to excel in the white-ball formats.This summer, Labuschagne looks keen on proving his doubters wrong. Although he might lack the power game like his captain Chris Lynn does, Labuschagne's tactical nous and reading of the game makes him an exceptional talent. While he has played only three BBL 2021 games so far, Marnus's numbers are nothing short of sensational. He averages a match score of 94.1 in the Sixer Market, handing his fantasy shareholders a handsome profit of 30.9%! He has won two man of the match awards leading into this game with his bowling also helping his cause. To add more value to these numbers, Marnus, who was the highest run-scorer in the recently concluded Test series against India, averaged a match score of 54.54 while scoring 426 runs. With a near 40% increase in productivity in the BBL, Marnus is slowly shedding away his tag as a red-ball specialist with people taking him more seriously in this format. His value in all three facets departments will be key to his fantasy shareholders and his team as they take on the Strikers today. Can he add more value to his fantasy stocks, which trade at 63.90 Sixer Coins? That's a question for all the cricket enthusiasts itching to get back into action in the Sixer Market!Who will reign supreme in the battle of the captains? Head and Lynn trading at 48.40 Sixer Coins and 67.60 Sixer Coins respectively!Apart from Marnus Labuschagne, the spotlight will be on Alex Carey and Travis Head, the two captains taking centre-stage at the Gabba today. However, both of them have endured contrasting fortunes of late. While Head is due for a big knock in the BBL, Lynn is one of the most profitable players in the Market with a near 30% rise in the BBL alone. However, Head is known to come up with the goods at the time of need. Although his price has dropped by 3% in his last four games, Head provides a lot of value with his attacking batting style. He has gotten off to starts without converting them and today could well be the day he does so! Will it be the Strikers captain who comes up trumps or will Lynnsanity strike once again? Only time will tell! Who are you going to buy in the Sixer Market? Watch out for new stock supply at 2:00 PM IST!
