Preview:

Northern Superchargers will take on Oval Invincibles in the 13th match of The Hundred Men’s 2021 on Saturday. Northern Superchargers are reeling at the bottom of the table with only one point.

They currently occupy the 4th spot in the standings with 3 points. Sam Curran won’t be available for the rest of the tournament and he is a big shoe to fill.

Top Picks for NOS vs OVI Dream11 Match:

Harry Brook has grabbed the opportunity with both hands in the newest format of the game. Coming back from a successful T20 Blast tournament, he has carried the same form into Hundred as well. In 2 matches, Brook has scored 100 runs at an average of 50, with the highest score of 62.

Jason Roy is a fearless batter. He has got tremendous power and knows how to pace the innings. A Big inning is expected from him bat in this match.

Top Picks ­ All-Rounders

Mystery spinner Sunil Narine was economical in the opening game against Manchester Originals, where he conceded just 22 runs from his 20 deliveries, and more importantly, picked up a wicket.

Top Picks ­ Bowlers

Adil Rashid has always been a reliable bowler for England in white-ball cricket, and he is doing quite well in this format as well. In 2 matches, he has scalped 3 wickets, conceding 1.47 runs per ball.

Reece Topley might not have a fiery pace, but he effectively uses his height and hits the deck hard. He has got one wicket to his name in this tournament.

Top Picks ­ Wicketkeepers

Sam Billings is an innovative player and got a wide range of shots in his arc. He played an excellent knock in the opening game against Manchester Originals, where he missed a half-century by one run.

NOS vs OVI Must Picks for Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Player Statistics (This Tournament) Dream11 Points
Harry Brook 100 runs 141
Jason Roy 20 runs 48
Sam Billings 49 runs 78
Sunil Narine One wicket 35

Sam Billings, Colin Ingram, Faf du Plessis, Chris Lynn, Jason Roy (c), Harry Brook (vc), Sunil Narine, Reece Topley, Nathan Sowter, Brydon Carse, Callum Parkinson


NOS vs OVI Risky Captaincy Choices:

Tom Kohler-Cadmore has scored 24 runs in 2 matches at a strike rate of 126.31. Considering his average performances he is a risky captaincy pick for your fantasy teams.

Will Jacks is an impressive young all-rounder who scored 15 runs in the opening game against Manchester Originals. You can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy team skipper.

Player you should avoid:

Jordan Clark will be a likely replacement for Sam Curran. It isn’t going to be easy for him to straight away perform in the first match. It’s better to avoid him while making your fantasy teams.

WI vs PAK Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update for 2nd T20I

Preview:

West Indies will take on Pakistan in the 2nd of the 4-match T20I series on Saturday. COVID-19 has already shortened the series, even rain came to play spoilsport in the 1st T20I. Now, it’s effectively a 3-match T20I series. With plenty of firepower in their line-up, West Indies managed to score only 85 runs in the 1st T20I, in their allotted quota of 9 overs.

The Pakistani bowlers gave a hard time for the West Indies batters in the 1st T20I. Hasan Ali was particularly impressive, as he chipped in with two wickets. Azam Khan, who was hit on the head in the practice session, will miss the 2nd T20I.

Top Picks for WI vs PAK Dream11 Match:

Top Picks ­ Batsmen

Evin Lewis is a hard-hitting batter. He will smack the ball out of the park if it’s in his zone. Lewis had a short stay at the crease in the reduced 1st T20I but is expected to do well in this match.

Babar Azam didn’t live up to the expectations in the T20I series against England, as he always sets his benchmark standards pretty high. We can expect a good inning from him in this match.

Top Picks ­ All-Rounders

Andre Russell is an absolute legend of the game in this format. He got out for just 7 runs in the 1st T20I, but will be expecting a good game in the 2nd T20I.

Dwayne Bravo is showing the cricketing world that there is plenty of cricket still left in him. He had a good T20I series against Australia and will be hoping for an even better series against Pakistan.

Top Picks ­ Bowlers

There was no work to do for Hayden Walsh in the 1st T20I as the rain spoiled the game. He came in as a surprise package and won the player of the series award against Australia.

Hasan Ali kept his game plan simple in the 1st T20I, where he took the big wickets of Evin Lewis and Shimron Hetmyer.

Top Picks ­ Wicketkeepers

Mr Consistent Mohammad Rizwan had scored plenty of runs wherever he had traveled in the last year. He reached his milestone of 1000 T20I runs in just 31 innings.

WI vs PAK Risky Captaincy Choices:

Shimron Hetmyer is a versatile player, who can be used in different conditions according to the specific needs of the team. He is a risky captaincy pick for your fantasy teams.

Even though he not batting in his usual position, Fakhar Zaman has plenty of potentials to score runs at the late end of the innings. You can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy team skipper.

Player you should avoid:

Mohammad Wasim has played only one T20I, considering plenty of options available in the all-rounder’s slot it’s better to avoid him while making your fantasy teams.
