Top Picks for DER vs WOR Dream11 Match:
Top Picks – Derbyshire
Luis Reece has played the role of a complete all-rounder in this tournament. He is the highest run-getter of the Derbyshire team, having scored 305 runs. He has also picked up five wickets with the ball.
Matt Critchley has mainly contributed with the ball, picking up nine wickets. However, his batting performances can’t be neglected as he has delivered with the blade quite a few times and has a tally of 199 runs.
Top Picks – Worcestershire
Brett D’Oliveira has taken on the responsibility of doing consistently well for this team in the absence of Moeen Ali. He would want to add some more wickets to his tally but his batting record is impressive. He has scored 249 runs in this tournament.
Riki Wessels has scored 248 runs in this tournament. He has a strike rate of around 130, but would want to get a big score which he hasn’t really done in this season so far.
