Top Picks for WEF vs OVI Dream11 Match:

Top Picks – Batters

Will Jacks:

The in-form English batter managed to score only one run in the opening match but remains one of the best hitters for Invincibles for this season.

Ben Duckett:

Duckett finished last season as the leading run-scorer for Welsh Fire with 232 runs in 8 matches and has started this season with a 40-run knock against Southern Brave in the last match.

Top Picks – All-Rounders

Sunil Narine:

The star West Indies all-rounder was the best bowler for Oval Invincibles in the last match. He took two wickets while conceding just 25 runs from his 20-ball spell, with the highest nine dot-balls. He will be a very good captaincy choice on Sunday.

Top Picks – Bowlers

Reece Topley:

The English pacer took a big wicket of Eoin Morgan in the opening match while conceding just 26 runs. He will be the best bowler for Oval Invincibles against Welsh Fire.

Adam Zampa:

The star Australian spinner failed to take any wicket against Southern Brave in the last match but scored unbeaten 10 runs to guide his team past 100-plus runs total.

Top Pick – Wicketkeeper

Tom Banton:

The talented English big-hitter scored just six runs in the opening match but is in great form lately with two fifties and a hundred in the last five overall matches.

TRT vs BPH Risky Captaincy Choices:

Sam Billings:

The experienced wicketkeeper batter was caught out on just one run in the opening match but played some crucial knocks in the Vitality Blash 2022.

Jason Roy:

The struggling opening batter continues to struggle for form as he was bowled out on a golden duck in the last match. He needs one big score to return to form and will be a risky captaincy choice on Sunday.

Players you should avoid:

Noor Ahmad:
