Dream XI Wicket-Keepers
Dane Cleaver (Price- 8.5) will be best for WK as he is a clean-hitter of the cricket ball and is also an opener.
Dream XI Batsmen
- Tom Bruce (Price 9.5) – Bruce is the 6th highest run-scorer of the league and coming at number 4, he would be a great pick.
- Neil Broom (Price 10):- Broom is the 7th highest run-scorer of the league and as an opener, he would be the sure sort pick.
- Hamish Rutherford (Price 9.5):- Rutherford is an experienced campaigner and as an opener, he is a very good pick. He doesn’t throw his wicket away and also is a reliable option.
- Nick Kelly (Price 8.5):- Kelly is an aggressive player who can hit the ball quite hard and can make maximum use of minimum deliveries
- Josh Finnie (Price 8.5):- Finnie is another great middle-order batsman who can play with a decent strike-rate.
NOTE:- Pick any one between Josh Finnie and Nick Kelly
[Christian Leopard is also a very decent batsman but is not looking in good touch lately so, can be avoided]
Dream XI All-Rounders
George Worker (Price 10.5) is a pretty decent batsman and 10th highest run-scorer of the league. He comes to open the innings and is a pretty solid player with bat and also can chip in with few overs.
Dean Foxcroft (Price 10) played a brilliant knock in the last game and also chipped in with a couple of overs. He can be a very good pick on this track.
Noema Barnett (Price 8.5) is the fourth-highest wicket-taker of the tournament and is also a pretty decent middle-order batsman.
[Anaru Kitchen and Michael Rippon are left out as both of them were out of touch throughout the tournament]
Dream XI Bowlers
- Ajaz Patel (Price 8.5):- Highest wicket-taker of the League.
- Blair Tickner (Price 8.5):- A genuine wicket-taker who bowls both in powerplay overs and in death overs too.
- Jacob Duffy (Price 8):- A genuine wicket-taker in middle overs.
[Seth Rance and Michael Rae are also quite decent bowling options but the recent form of Duffy and Blair Tickner, gives them the nod.]
