Today’s HUR vs HEA Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Matthew Wade: Although Matthew Wade has blown hot and cold this season, he has shown signs of his explosive batting ability on a few occasions. The southpaw is one of the best batters in the competition and given his record at the Blundstone Arena, Wade should get the nod over an in-form Ben McDermott in your HUR vs HEA Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Chris Lynn: Chris Lynn, like Matthew Wade, hasn't really fired with the bat this season, which has in turn impacted the Heat's fortunes in the BBL. He is a fierce striker of the cricket ball and with the experience he carries around, Lynn should come good sooner rather than later.
All-rounder
D'Arcy Short: D'Arcy Short has shown glimpses of his all-round prowess despite being demoted to No.3 in the batting unit. However, his knack for scoring big runs in the top order should hold him in good stead, making him a fine addition to your HUR vs HEA Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Xavier Bartlett: After missing a few games for the Heat, Xavier Bartlett gave a good account of himself against the Sixers, nearly pulling a thrilling win at the expense of the Sixers. In addition to his brilliance with the ball, Bartlett has been handy with the bat, holding him in high regards ahead of this much-awaited clash.
