Pitch Report

The pitch is expected to be good for batting, with plenty of runs on offer. However, bowlers who can exploit any early movement or variations may find success. The short boundaries and true bounce make it a high-scoring venue. Pacers will need to be accurate with their lines and lengths to be effective. The weather is expected to be clear, with no chance of rain interrupting the proceedings.

Player Picks

8
C

Finn Allen SF | BAT

The Kiwi opener has been in a good form with the bat in this tournament. Though Finn Allen has lost a bit of form in the last couple of games, he can be dangerous with his aggressive batting on any day and will be one of the safer picks for the game.

8.5
C

Hassan Khan SF | BOWL

Hassan Khan looked in a good touch with the bat in the last match and has often delivered with the ball in the middle overs. He will be one of the expectedly high return choices for the game.

9

Faf du Plessis TEX | BAT

The skipper of the Super Kings have been the mainstay of their batting. Faf du Plessis is in a great touch and will be a key pick for the fantasy contests.

8

Marcus Stoinis TEX | BAT

The Australian all-rounder has been doing a brilliant job with the ball in the tournament. Marcus Stoinis is picking up wickets and the fact that he can change the game with the bat makes him a hot pick for the game.

8

Jake Fraser-McGurk SF | BAT

This young Australian batter has not yet delivered as per expectations in the tournament. However, Jake Fraser-McGurk can be lethal with the bat and that makes him a potentially high return pick for the game.

8.5

Zia-ul-Haq TEX | BOWL

This medium pacer has been doing a good job with the ball for the team. Zia ul Haq is using his varieties very nicely to pick up wickets. The fact that he can pick up wickets in all the stages of the game makes him a prime pick for the game.
