Batsmen for OTG vs WEL Dream11

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 as he takes full advantage of the powerplay.

Neil Broom (Price 10):- Broom is the fourth-highest run-scorer of the league and as an opener, he would be the sure sort pick.

James Neesham (Price 9) and R. Ravindra (Price 8.5) are the clear choices as, both of them bats a significant amount of overs and are also a genuine wicket-taking options in the side.

Michael Rippon (Price 10) is a regular 4 overs bowler and is quite handy with the bat too

[Anaru Kitchen and Dean Foxcroft are left out because they have not been in a great form with bat and also not sure of their quota of 4 overs]

Bowlers for OTG vs WEL Dream11

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.

Michael Rae (Price 8):-  A proven wicket-taker in middle overs and at price of 8, he is a steal.

Jacob Duffy (Price 8.5):- He bowls at death for Otago and generates a good amount of wickets.

[Ollie Newton and Logan van Beek were very tough options to be left out but University Oval produces batting-friendly wickets that’s why the bowlers who bowl at death were given the preference]
