Pitch Report
The Docklands Stadium has seen its fair share of high-scoring games this season and another similar match expected on Saturday. Although the pacers should ideally get the ball to move around, the batters should enjoy it skidding on to the bat. The spinners might get some help in the middle overs, but there is not much room for error. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams likely to prefer batting first upon winning the toss.
Today’s SCO vs SIX Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Josh Philippe: Josh Philippe has been one of the best batters this season, scoring over 400 runs for the Sydney Sixers. Given his explosiveness at the top of the order, Philippe should be a good addition to your SCO vs SIX Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Moises Henriques: Moises Henriques has been in decent form this season, scoring quick runs against both pace and spin. Although he has floated around in the middle order, his experience and ability to come good in crunch situations should hold him in good stead ahead of this game.
All-rounder
Mitchell Marsh: Mitchell Marsh has been the Scorchers' best player despite only playing in six matches. His gung-ho approach with the bat in the top order has served the Scorchers well. Adding his bowling prowess only adds value to his popular selection in most SCO vs SIX Dream11 fantasy teams.
Bowler
Andrew Tye: Andrew Tye, who led the wicket-takers charts for most of the BBL, hasn't been in the best of form in recent matches. Nevertheless, Tye is an experienced campaigner whose ability in death overs should yield him a wicket or two in this much-awaited game.
