Tom Banton (4 matches, 68 runs, Average: 17.00)
Tom Banton has scored only 68 runs in four matches, with only one 30-plus score to his name. The former KKR opener has some franchise league experience and a batting strike rate of 143.11 in T20s.

Top Batter Pick
James Vince (5 matches, 123 runs, Average: 30.75)

James Fuller (5 matches, 29 runs, 3 wickets)
James Fuller came into the Hundred on the back of a sensational T20 Blast campaign, in which he picked up 23 wickets in 17 matches. He has not been able to translate it into the Hundred, with only three wickets to his name so far. However, the conditions at Sophia Gardens should suit Fuller, whose batting could also have a say in this game.
Top Bowler Pick
Jake Ball (4 matches, 6 wickets, Average: 19.16)
Jake Ball put out figures of 4/29 in his previous Hundred outing against the Manchester Originals. He has been Welsh Fire's best bowler this season, using his experience and variations to good effect. With form on his side, Ball is likely to be a popular pick ahead of this WEF vs SOB match.
