Pitch Report
With this being the second match of the day at the Kia Oval, the spinners are expected to play a big role. Although the pacers should get the ball to swing and bounce early on, the batsmen will enjoy the ball coming onto the bat. As the game progresses, the ball should grip off the surface, making it a tad difficult for the batters. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams looking to bat first upon winning the toss on Monday.
Today's OVI vs WEF Dream11 match top picks
Wicket-keeper
Tom Banton: Tom Banton hasn't hit his strides in The Hundred as yet. With Jonny Bairstow's absence leaving a profound effect already, Welsh Fire will bank on Banton to come good at the top of the order.
Batsmen
Jason Roy: Star opener Jason Roy had an impactful outing against the Northern Superchargers last week. Given his explosive ability at the top of the order, Roy is a must-have in today's OVI vs WEF Dream11 team.
Glenn Phillips: New Zealand international Glenn Phillips was a revelation in the T20 Blast with 500 runs for Gloucestershire. He is due a big score for Welsh Fire in The Hundred and could be in for a vital performance today.
All-rounders
Sunil Narine: While Sunil Narine has been consistent with the ball, he did show a glimpse of his batting ability in the previous game. With spin being a major factor in the middle overs and given Narine's ability against spin, he could be a brilliant addition to your OVI vs WEF Dream11 team.
Bowlers
Tom Curran: Although Tom Curran didn't have the best of outings in the previous game, he did pick up a wicket and score some handy runs. More of the same can be expected of him with home conditions playing into his hands.
Qais Ahmad: Afghan leggie Qais Ahmad has been the standout bowler for Welsh Fire with his leg-spin proving to be quite impressive in the middle overs. Ahmad has improved his batting skills as well, which could well be put into work on Monday.
