WEL vs AUK Dream11 Wicket-Keepers
Devon Conway (Price 9.5) and Glenn Phillips (Price 9.5) both should be in the team as both of them are class T20 players and match-winners on their own. Conway has ruled the whole tournament.
WEL vs AUK Dream11 Batsmen
- Martin Guptill (Price 10.5):- Guptill has been in fine form in this tournament. In the must-win game, his team will rely on him for a good start.
- Colin Munro (Price 10):- Colin Munro has complemented Guptill very well in the later stages of the tournament. It looks like a big inning for Munro is on the cards and this might be his game.
- Michael Pollard (Price 9):- Pollard is a very clean hitter of the cricket ball. His stroke playing is very good and he can certainly take advantage of powerplay overs along with Conway.
- Dean Brownlie (Price 9):- Dean is quite an experienced player at number 3. Although, he is not in very good form but can be a good pick on the track.
[Craig Cachopa bats way lower down the orders and that’s why he isn’t preferred]
WEL vs AUK Dream11 All-Rounders
- Rachin Ravindra (Price 8.5):- Rachin has been batting at number 3 and also bowling a significant amount of overs too. He should be an ideal pick in the team.
- Mark Chapman (Price 9):- Chapman is a clean hitter of the ball and he bats at number 4. He is also bowling a decent amount of overs and can be a good pick.
- Kyle Jamieson (Price 8.5):- Jamieson is a brilliant wicket-taking bowler. In the last match, he took 3 wickets and can certainly bring a lot of points on the table.
[James Neesham is injured and won’t play this game that’s why he wasn’t considered]
WEL vs AUK Dream11 Bowlers
- Hamish Bennett (Price 9):- Hamish has proved that he is a genuine wicket-taker in powerplays as well as in death bowlers. His speed and accuracy is next to none.
- Ronnie Hira (Price 8.5):- Hira is a brilliant Left-arm spinner. He doesn’t look like a deadly bowler but has a neck of taking wickets and he does that very well.
- Peter Younghusband (Price 8):- A very decent right-arm leg-break bowler who can take wickets due to his variations. His flighted balls force batsmen to play big shots.
[It was very difficult to keep Newton out but recent form of Bennett and budget concerns became the obstacles in picking him]
SportsRush Featured Dream XI Team for the Game
Martin Guptill © – Guptill has been in very good form and in a DO or DIE game, he will be eager to play a big knock.
Devon Conway (VC) – Conway is the highest run-scorer of this tournament and would be a very stable pick as he is in a very good form.
