Pitch Report
The pitch at the Diamond Oval is a decent one to bat on, with 160-170 being a par score at the venue. There isn't much help on offer for the pacers, who will be targeted by the batters early on. However, there is some turn on offer for the spinners, making for a good contest between the bat and ball in the middle overs. Both teams will ideally look to bat first upon winning the toss, with the pitch likely to slow down as the match progresses.
Today’s ECI vs WAR Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Mncedisi Malika: Although Mncedisi Malika has been in fairly good touch in the CSA T20 Cup, he couldn't get going against the Bears in his previous outing. He has looked solid in the middle and should get the nod over Sinethemba Qeshile, who isn't a bad option himself.
Batter
Matthew Breetzke: Matthew Breetzke has been in brilliant form coming into the game, scoring a fifty in his previous outing against Limpopo. The youngster's ability to shift gears at will make him a valuable asset to the Warriors team. He will be a good addition to your ECI vs WAR Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
JJ Smuts: JJ Smuts has also been in fine form with the bat, although it is his bowling ability and form that truly sets him apart as a must-have in your ECI vs WAR Dream11 fantasy team. Smuts' experience will also come in handy in the must-win clash as he should deliver some much-needed fantasy points for your Dream11 team.
Bowler
Gideon Peters: Gideon Peters has impressed one and all with his express pace and accuracy, with three wickets to his name in two outings. Peters held his own against the likes of Janneman Malan and Christiaan Jonker in the previous game, which should hold him in good stead ahead of today's CSA T20 Cup encounter.
