Top Picks for LEI vs DER Dream11 Match:
Top Picks – Leicestershire
Marcus Harris has played some List A cricket back home in Australia and scored more than 1000 runs in the format. He would be expected to bring all his experience into play for this tournament.
Lewis Hill will be the wicketkeeper as well as the captain of this team and should be able to score some runs. He has around 1000 runs but he would definitely want to work on his List A career, which is at this moment under 30.
Top Picks – Derbyshire
Billy Godleman is an experienced player with loads of runs in the List A format. So far, he has managed to score 2559 runs in his career with an average of 43.37.
F Hudson-Prentice has had a good season this year so far. He has scored some valuable runs for the Derbyshire team in the recent T20 Blast and also picked up crucial wickets. This will be only his fourth list A match and a great opportunity for the youngster.
