Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game, the pitch at the Sophia Gardens is a good one to bat on with little help on offer for the pacers. As the match progresses, the spinners will come into play. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams ideally looking to chase upon winning the toss. 130 should be par at the venue with the weather not expected to play spoilsport on Saturday.
Today's WEF vs MNR Dream11 match top picks
Wicket-keeper
Phil Salt: In the absence of Jos Buttler, the onus will be on Phil Salt to provide a blazing start at the top of the order. Watch out for his explosive batting on a pitch that favors the batsmen in the early stages.
Batsmen
Colin Munro: Although Colin Munro hasn't fired with the bat, part of it can be attributed to him batting down the order. With Buttler leaving for national duty, Munro could find himself opening the batting and potentially returning back to runscoring form.
Glenn Phillips: Like his Kiwi colleague, Glenn Phillips is also due for a big knock and could benefit with his captain Jonny Bairstow leaving for national duty. With Phillips also capable of burgling a few deliveries, he is definitely one to keep an eye on in this game.
All-rounders
James Neesham: Sticking with New Zealand stars, James Neesham has provided the balance for Welsh Fire with key wickets and explosive batting in the backend of the innings. Expect Neesham to have a significant impact yet again for the Welsh Fire.
Carlos Brathwaite: Burly all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite has been a consistent performer, both in the T20 Blast and The Hundred so far. Given his all-round ability, he should be a good addition to your WEF vs MNR Dream11 team.
Bowlers
Matt Parkinson: Young Matt Parkinson, who has been a revelation this summer, has been in brilliant form for quite a few years now. With spin likely to play a big role in the middle phase, bank on Parkinson to get you a wicket or two with his leg-spin.
Qais Ahmad: Another leggie who has impressed in The Hundred is Qais Ahmad, who has four wickets in two games so far. With a bag of tricks up his sleeve and an eye for a boundary with the bat, Ahmad is the perfect impact addition to your WEF vs MNR Dream11 team today.
