Dream XI Wicket-Keepers
Sam Harper (Price 8) should be considered in the team as he is a clean hitter of the cricket ball and is an opener. On his day, he can dismantle any bowling line-up.
[Peter Handscomb can be avoided as his batting order is not fixed, if he bats at 5 then he won’t face much balls]
Dream XI Batsmen
- Aaron Finch (Price 10.5) – Aaron Finch is in the list of top run-getters of the tournament with an average of 33. Runaway match-winner on his day.
- Shaun Marsh (Price 9.5):- Shaun is one of the most technically gifted players who doesn’t throw his wicket away and is also in the list of Top 5 run-getters of the tournament.
- Nick Larkin (Price 8):- Larkin proved his ability in the last game and showed why he is such a brilliant T20 batsman and he will be a very good edition as he bats at number 3.
** Beau Webster is in decent form too but his batting order is not certain whereas Nic Maddinson is also in pathetic form.
Dream XI All-Rounders
Glenn Maxwell (Price 10) and Marcus Stoinis (Price 10.5) are also easy picks as both of them are stand-away match winners and have shown their grit with the bat. Maxi has been handy in bowling too and is picking some crucial wickets.
Tom Andrews (Price 8) is a brilliant left-arm spinner and the longer boundaries of MCG will certainly help his cause of getting wickets.
Dream XI Bowlers
- Nathan Coulter-Nile (Price 8.5):- Nathan is a brilliant customer with the ball and can hit big sixes at death, so he is like an utility all-rounder in bowler’s category
- Cameron Boyce (Price 8.5):- Cameron Boyce has got his mojo back and has started to take wickets, longer boundaries of MCG will surely help him.
- Adam Zampa (Price 9):- Adam Zampa has a brilliant record at MCG and the longer boundaries will certainly help the Leg-Spinner in getting wickets at the G.
- Harry Gurney (Price 8.5) can be a handy bowler on the wicket as his slower balls can certainly help him with the longer boundaries.
[NOTE:- Dale Steyn and Kane Richardson are also in great form lately but, all the all-rounders are un-droppable and with the remaining budget, these were the best picks possible]
SportsRush Featured Dream XI Team for the Game
Aaron Finch © – Finch knows about MCG’s wicket more than anyone else so, he will be the clear pick.
Marcus Stoinis (VC) – Stoinis has been an outstanding customer with bat, this season.
