Today’s SOM vs DUR Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Steven Davies: Steven Davies has not been in the best of form in the tournament, unable to get substantial runs at the top of the order. He is an experienced campaigner with a knack for scoring big runs. Given his ability and experience, he should be one to watch out for in this game.
Batter
Michael Jones: Michael Jones scored a fine hundred against Middlesex, guiding his team to a decent total after a top-order collapse. He has been in decent form over the last few weeks, even making an appearance for the Scottish national team. He is a good player of both pace and spin, with his form adding to his case for inclusion in your SOM vs DUR Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Ben Green: Ben Green has been integral to Somerset's white-ball plans over the last year or so, coming up with handy knocks and picking up crucial wickets in both 50 and 20-over cricket. He has been consistent with the ball all summer, but has blown hot and cold with the bat. Regardless, Green's skill-set should come in handy, making him a fine addition to your SOM vs DUR Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Chris Rushworth: Chris Rushworth is a household name on the English domestic circuit with a heap of experience to his name. His ability to swing the new ball is noteworthy and has yielded quite a few wickets in his career.
