WEL vs CTB Dream11 Wicket-Keepers

Devon Conway (Price- 9.5) should be the best pick as he has been in brilliant form and has scored a brilliant century in the last game too. So, he would like to repeat his heroics.

WEL vs CTB Dream11 Dream XI Batsmen

  • Chad Bowes (Price 9.5):- Bowes is a clean-hitter of the ball and can take full advantage of his top-notch form. A very aggressive player.
  • Jack Boyle (Price 9):- Boyle is also a very good option who can make use of the powerplay overs and is in a decent form too. He and Bowes make a very good pair.
  • 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. In the last game, he was in very good touch and scored an unbeaten half-century
  • Stephen Murdoch (Price 9.5)- Murdoch is a very good option at number 3. He complements Boyle and Bowes very well and he will also be a good pick.

[Leo Carter can be a wildcard pick as he smashed 6 sixes in an over against Knights and would be in a great mental space]

WEL vs CTB Dream11 All-Rounders

Cole McConchie (Price 9) bats a significant amount of overs plus is a wicket-taker in the middle overs. 

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

WEL vs CTB Dream11 Bowlers

  • 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.
  • Ollie Newton (Price 9):- Ollie is also a genuine wicket-taker and he bowls in death over too, so his chances of taking wickets are much more. 
  • Ed Nuttal (Price 8.5):-  Ed Nuttal has been a decent bowler for Canterbury. A decent bowler who can pick wickets.

[Van Beek and Will Williams are also good options with the ball but, our preferences are Bennett and Nuttal.]

 SportsRush Featured Dream XI Team for the Game

Toss-Tip : If Canterbury bats first then Cam Fletcher can also be a good option for the team. 

Devon Conway © – Conway has scored a brilliant century in the last game and would like to continue his form. Track of Basin Reserve will assist him too.

James Neesham (VC) – Neesham has been in very good form throughout the tournament with bot bat and ball. Bats sometimes even at number 4 and a genuine wicket-taker too.
