Pitch Report

The surface at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas has provided considerable assistance to batters off late, with plenty of seam and bounce on offer for the fast bowlers as well. However, the wickets at the venue are tired by now, and we can see that with the spinners getting assistance from the track. As for the pacers, the bowlers who are looking to hit the deck and use their cutters and slower ones have been successful.

Player Picks

9
C

Matthew Short SF | ALL

Matt Short has not only been destructive but also has been consistent. Given his current run with the bat, Short will be one of the great choice for the fantasy contests. The star opening batter has amassed 170 runs from last 5 games.

8
C

Finn Allen SF | BAT

The Kiwi opener has been giving the Unicorns some blazing starts in MLC 2024. With the touch and rhythm that Finn Allen is in, he will be a key pick for the fantasy contests. The star player has made 186 runs from last 6 games.

8.5

Steve Smith WAS | BAT

The Australian superstar and the Freedom skipper, Steve Smith, has been in brilliant form in this tournament. The best part of his batting in MLC 2024 has been the way he has adjusted his gear as per the demand of the game. He has amassed 247 runs from last 7 games.

8.5

Travis Head WAS | BAT

The Aussie opener did not start the tournament on a great note. However, Travis Head has picked up his form in the last few games and is looking in great touch. The southpaw had struck 250 runs from last 7 matches.

8.5

Pat Cummins SF | BOWL

Pat Cummins can be a game-changer on any given day, and that makes him a potentially rewarding pick for the match.

9

Glenn Maxwell WAS | ALL

The Australian all-rounder has been lacking batting form for the past few months. Although he has been looked in better touch in MLC 2024, a big knock is still to come from Glenn Maxwell. The star all-rounder has made 59 runs and scalped 9 wickets from last 6 matches.
