Pitch Report
A good batting track beckons at New Road with there being some help on offer for the bowlers as well. The new ball should move around in the early stages, keeping the batters on their toes. However, the ball should skid onto the bat nicely, making for a good contest between the bat and ball. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss.
Today’s EN-A vs SA Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Tom Banton: Tom Banton scored a brisk fifty in the previous game, complementing Will Smeed to perfection in a hundred-run opening stand. Banton is an exciting batter who has all the shots in the book to go along with his franchise league experience. With Banton in decent form coming into the game, he is one to watch out for on Thursday.
Batter
Aiden Markam: Aiden Markram couldn't convert a start in the previous game, but he did score a fluent 31. He is a good player of pace and spin and has been in good form over the last year or so. With Markram likely to play a part with the ball as well, he is a good addition to your EN-A vs SA Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Benny Howell: Benny Howell did not pick up a wicket in the previous game but was able to hold his own in the middle and death overs owing to his subtle and effective variations. Apart from his variations, Howell can pack a punch with the bat as well, holding him in good stead. With the conditions suiting his skill-set, Howell could be a handy selection in your EN-A vs SA Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Anrich Nortje: Anrich Nortje is a highly-rated bowler capable of swinging the ball at a high pace. However, he has not been in the best of form since returning from a long injury lay-off. Regardless, Nortje has shown glimpses of his ability in the last month or so and with the conditions being good for bowling early on, he could be backed to pick up a wicket or two in this game.
