WEL vs CTB Dream11 Batsmen

  • D.Conway (Price 9):- Conway has been in a sensational form, he scored a century in the last game and he was brilliant in Super-Smash too. 
  • M.Bracewell (Price 8.5):- Bracewell has been a decent middle-order batsman of the firebirds. Although he is not in very good form but he is a technical player.
  • H.Nicholls (Price 10):- Nicholls smashed a brilliant century in the last game and he will be score more runs as he will be the nominee to open for the national side as well.
  • J.Boyle (Price 9.5):- Batting at number 3, Boyle has played some really good knock and is in the list of top-10 highest run-scorers.
  • S.Murdoch (Price 9.5):- Murdoch is a really underrated batsman. He played a brilliant knock in the last game and has the ability to take maximum advantage of minimum deliveries.
