WEL vs NK Dream11 Wicket-Keepers

Devon Conway (Price- 9.5) should be the best pick as he is the 2nd highest run scorer of the tournament and also an opener.

Tim Seifert (Price 9.5) should also be in the squad as he is in a sublime form and hitting the ball quite well plus the surface of Basin Reserve will assist him.

WEL vs NK Dream11 Batsmen

• Michael Bracewell (Price 8.5) – Bracewell is a very talented batsman and doesn’t throw his wicket away and coming at number 4, he is a good pick.

• Joe Carter (Price 8.5):- Joe Carter is the floater of the team who can bat anywhere in the order. Joe is a clean hitter and can make maximum use in minimum opportunities.

• Michael Pollard (Price 8.5):- Pollard is one of the biggest hitters of the cricket ball. Pollard comes to open the innings and has been of significant impact. He can be a wildcard pick.

[Dean Brownlie is also a very good batsman and comes at number 3 but he is in very poor form and isn’t looking comfortable this season]

WEL vs NK Dream11 All-Rounders

James Neesham (Price 9) and Daryl Mitchell (Price 9) are the clear choices as, both of them are in top 10 wicket-getters list and both of them bowls at death too. Neesham is in top 10 run-getters too so both Neesham and Mitchell must be considered. 

Anton Devcich (Price 9.5) vs Scott Kuggeleijn (Price 9.0) : One of them should be considered. Devcich is a batting all-rounder whereas Scott is a bowling-allrounder. However, Devcich will be a sensible pick as he comes to open the innings as well as bowl his quota of overs.

[Brett Hampton is also an option but he isn’t bowling much these days]

WEL vs NK Dream11 Bowlers

• Hamish Bennett (Price 9):- Hamish bowls at death as well as in powerplays and is a regular wicket-taker. With his raw-pace, he is a very lethal player.
• Ollie Newton (Price 9):- Newton is a genuine wicket-taker and also bowls with very good economy . He has proven himself in death bowling too. 
• Brett Randell (Price 8.5):-  Randell is in top 10 wicket-takers list and also in very good form plus his ability to swing the ball is also a treat to watch.

[There are many other good options such as Ish Sodhi, Logan van Beek, and Anurag Verma. But, Ish hasn’t been in good form and Basin Reserve’s pitch won’t assist him. Logan is second to Hamish Bennett whereas Verma is a common choice whereas unpopular Randell is no less]
