Pitch Report
The pitch at the Rose Bowl is a good one to bat on, but there will be some help on offer for the bowlers as well. While the pacers should get the ball to swing around in the early stages, the batters will look to maximize the field restrictions in the powerplay phase. The pitch could get slower as the match progresses, allowing the spinners to play a part as well. Both teams will ideally look to chase upon winning the toss, with 150-160 being a good total at the venue.
Today's SOB vs WEF Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Tom Banton: Tom Banton comes into the tournament on the back of a decent T20 Blast campaign as part of Somerset. He is a highly-rated batter who is capped in both white-ball formats as well. Given the form that he is in and his ability to play both pace and spin well holds him in good stead ahead of this much-awaited encounter.
Batter
James Vince: James Vince has been in blistering form, leading Hampshire to T20 Blast success and also topping the run-scoring charts in the process. The Southern Brave captain is an attack-minded batter who can hold his own against both pace and spin. Given his form and ability, Vince is a must-have in your SOB vs WEF Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Marcus Stoinis: Marcus Stoinis is a brilliant white-ball cricketer with a heap of franchise league experience under his belt. While his recent form has been up and down, he has a knack for coming up with match-winning performances on a regular basis. With the Aussie all-rounder providing some much-needed balance to the side, he can be backed to come good in this game.
Bowler
Adam Zampa: Adam Zampa has been a consistent performer in white-ball cricket, impressing for Australia and also earning a couple of stints in the IPL. The Aussie leggie is known for his ability to pick up wickets in the middle overs and is not afraid of pitching it up to the batters. Given the conditions on offer, Zampa should prove to be a handful for the Southern Brave batters and make for a fine pick in your SOB vs WEF Dream11 fantasy team.
