Pitch Report

The pitch at St George's Park is on the slower side with the batters having to work hard for their runs. The pacers might not get much movement off the surface, but should be able to extract extra bounce early on. As the match progresses, the spinners should come into play given the turn on offer. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams likely to prefer batting first upon winning the toss.


Today’s WAR vs LIO Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Matthew Breetzke: Matthew Breetzke is one of the best young players on the domestic circuit with the opener capable of scoring quick runs at the top of the order. However, he hasn't been consistent this season and is due for a big one. Although Breetzke isn't expected to don the wicketkeeping gloves, he is one to watch out for in this game

Batter

Reeza Hendricks: Reeza Hendricks has underwhelmed in the CSA T20 Challenge 2022, but there have been signs of his immense potential. Hendricks will be keen to get some runs under his belt against a strong Warriors bowling attack, making him a good pick for your WAR vs LIO Dream11 fantasy team.

All-rounder

JJ Smuts: JJ Smuts is one of the best all-rounders on the domestic circuit, capable of holding his own with both the bat and ball. Although he is expected to bat lower down the order, his range against both pace and spin holds him in good stead. With the pitch also on the slower side, Smuts should play a big role with the ball too, making him a must-have in your WAR vs LIO Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Bjorn Fortuin: Bjorn Fortuin has been brilliant for the Lions this season, proving to be economical in the powerplay phase. He has a knack for picking up wickets in the middle overs, which should serve him well. With Fortuin capable of scoring handy runs down the order too, he is a handy option to have in your Dream11 team.
