Pitch Report
The pitch at Warner Park has favored the pacers in the last few games and a similar kind of surface could be expected for this match as well. Although there should be ample help on offer for the pacers, the batsmen should enjoy the ball coming onto the bat early on. As the game progresses, the spinners will come into play, making for a good contest in the middle overs. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 160 being par at the venue.
Today’s TKR vs SLK Dream11 Match Top Picks
Wicketkeeper
Andre Fletcher: Although Andre Fletcher hasn't been in the best of form in the CPL, he did get off to a start in his previous outing. With Faf du Plessis currently a doubt for the semi-final, much will ride on Fletcher's shoulders to deliver some runs at the top of the order.
Batsman
Lendl Simmons: Lendl Simmons has blown hot and cold in the CPL, but he has shown glimpses of his ability for TKR. With Simmons known for his big knocks, he is surely one to keep an eye on for this fixture.
All-rounder
Sunil Narine: Sunil Narine is one of the best players in the competition, with his spin ability being TKR's go-to weapon in the middle overs. His pinch-hitting prowess is also highly valued, making him a must-have in your TKR vs SLK Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Wahab Riaz: Star pacer Wahab Riaz hasn't really fired with for the Kings, but he has shown promise in the death overs. He is still one of the better bowlers in death overs and should be one to watch out for in today's game.
