Today's NOR vs IND Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Sanju Samson: Sanju Samson has shown signs of form in the last few matches, scoring a fifty against Ireland and a quick-fire 38 against Derbyshire.
He has been used as an opener in both games, allowing him to maximize his range and ability against pace. With form on his side, Samson is one to watch out for in this game.
Batters
Ben Curran: Ben Curran is a talented batter who can tee off from ball one at the top of the order. The southpaw has not been in the best of form off late but is well and truly capable of coming up with the goods.
With Chris Lynn unavailable for the Northants, Curran is expected to bat at the top of the order and can be backed to score some runs as well.
All-rounders
Joshua Cobb: Joshua Cobb has been in decent form for the Northants, starring with both bat and ball. While he has often come up with big knocks in the top-order, he has chipped in with economical performances with the ball, especially in the powerplay phase.
With his all-round skills bound to come into play, he is a good addition to your NOR vs IND Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowlers
Umran Malik: Umran Malik is one of the fastest bowlers in the world, often breaching the 145 kmph mark. He has not had the best of starts to his Indian career, proving to be a touch expensive.
He is capable of riling up batters with his hit-the-deck hard length and nailing his yorkers as well, making him a must-have in your NOR vs IND Dream11 fantasy team.
