Dream XI Wicket-Keepers
D.Cleaver (Price 9) and M.Renwick (Price 8.5) both should be in the team as both of them are very good middle-order batsmen. Cleaver is currently the 3rd highest run-scorer and Renwick has also done well in his limited opportunities.
Dream XI Batsmen
- W.Young (Price 9):- Young is back after his injury and would be a straightaway pick. He is a very talented lad and would like to make a grand return.
- B.Smith (Price 9.5):- Smith will now lead the side of central Districts. He is a very good player at number 3 and would like to play a good knock here.
- N.Broom (Price 9):- Broom is a very solid player and he has represented New Zealand at the highest level and scoring with an average of 49.5 in this competition.
- N.Kelly (Price 9):- Kelly was brilliant in Super Smash and he has a decent record in this competition too. He will be a great pick.
[George Worker is not playing this game whereas Rutherford is in very poor form]
Dream XI All-Rounders
- K.Noemma-Barnett (Price 8.5):- He was in brilliant form in the recently concluded Super-Smash with both bat and ball. He is a brilliant all-rounder.
- A.Kitchen (Price 9):- Kitchen is a brilliant player who is technically sound he is a very decent wicket-taker too with the ball.
[Michael Rippon was poor in Super-Smash too and his record in this tournament is also not very good]
Dream XI Bowlers
B.Wheeler (Price 9) and S.Rance (Price 9) both are in our team as they both are international standard players and Rance has been very good for the team.
N.Smith (Price 8.5) has earned a lot of fantasy points in this tournament. He is a very consistent bowler.
[Jacob Duffy is not available for this game and that’s why he isn’t in the team]
