Top Picks for SOB vs WEF Dream11 Match:

Top Picks – Batters

Finn Allen:

The Kiwi opening batter is in great form lately. He scored 101 runs in the first T20I match against Scotland and a fifty in his last match.

Tim David:

The in-form big-hitter struggled to make an impact in the Blast 2022 but has scored 2556 runs in 114 T20 matches at an impressive strike rate of 164.79.

Top Picks – All-Rounders

Marcus Stoinis:

The star all-rounder will be a key player for his team this season. He scored 38 runs and took two wickets while conceding just 8 runs in his last T20I match against Sri Lanka in June this year.

Top Picks – Bowlers

George Garton:

The left-arm pacer took 10 wickets in 9 matches at an average of 23 for Southern Brave last season. He offers extra points with his batting skills as well.

Adam Zampa:

The star Australian spinner ranks 5th in the ICC T20 Bowlers chart with 71 wickets in 62 T20I matches so far.

Top Pick – Wicketkeeper

Tom Banton:

With Quinton de Kock missing the opening match, Tom Banton is a clear wicketkeeping choice on Wednesday. He scored only 96 runs last season but is in great form lately with a hundred and two fifties in his last five overall matches.

SOB vs WEF Risky Captaincy Choices:

Matt Critchley:

The star all-rounder was excellent in the Blast 2022 but later struggled for consistency in County matches for Essex with both bat and ball.

Ross Whiteley:

The experienced batter scored 133 runs in 10 matches last season but has not scored a 30-plus knock in his last 10 T20 matches.

Players you should avoid:

George Scrimshaw:

The 24-year-old right-arm pacer has been inconsistent with wickets lately with just three wickets in last three matches and proves expensive with his spells.
