Today's WEF vs BPH Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Tom Banton: Tom Banton is one of the most promising players on the English circuit and for good reason. Likened to Kevin Pietersen, Banton is a highly-skilled batter who has good technique against both pace and spin. Although his form has been iffy in the Hundred this season, his ability to score quick runs at the top of the order should hold him in good stead ahead of the game.
Batter
Will Smeed: Will Smeed created history in his previous game, becoming the first-ever centurion in the competition's history. The Birmingham Phoenix opener is an attack-minded batter who loves to take on the bowlers from the word go. Given his form and the conditions on offer, Smeed is bound to be a good addition to your WEF vs BPH Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Moeen Ali: Moeen Ali has shown glimpses of his all-round skills in this tournament, scoring 52 runs and picking up a wicket in two matches. While his bowling adds some much-needed balance to the side, Moeen's batting is what sets him apart. He is a brilliant player of spin and has built a reputation for scoring quick runs in the middle overs. With his all-round skills bound to have a say in the outcome of the game, Moeen is a must-have in your WEF vs BPH Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
George Scrimshaw: George Scrimshaw has had a fine season this English summer, impressing for Derbyshire and earning a stint with the England Lions and Welsh Fire. The lanky bowler can generate extra pace and bounce and has some clever variations up his sleeve as well. With Scrimshaw looking good in his Hundred debut, he could be backed to pick up a wicket or two in this game.
