Top Picks for SCO vs HEA Dream11 Match:

Top Picks ­– Batters

Colin Munro was the leading run-scorer for Perth Scorchers in the last edition. The Kiwi batter has racked up 443 runs in 15 innings at an average of 31.64, with the highest score of 82.

Star campaigner Chris Lynn managed to score only 9 runs in the first game against Sydney Thunder, however, he is a brutal striker of the cricket ball and unstoppable once he is in full flow.

Top Picks ­– All-Rounders

Mitchell Marsh is a must-pick for your fantasy teams on a given day. He was the player of the match in the T20 World Cup final 2021. He has got enormous power at his disposal and can clear the fence with a lot of ease.

Ashton Agar will be a value for money pick at 9 Cr. He has scored 234 runs and has also picked up 43 wickets in T20I cricket.

Top Picks ­– Bowlers

Andrew Tye is a clever thinker of the game and has got excellent variations, which will come in handy in the death overs. He scalped 21 wickets in the last edition at an economy of 7.99.

Mujeeb ur Rahman bowled pretty well against Sydney Thunder in the last game. Though the Afghan youngster did not get any wickets, he still is a must pick for your fantasy teams.

Top Picks ­– Wicketkeepers

Playing in his first BBL game, Ben Duckett did well to score 46 runs against Sydney Thunder, which was crucial in the context of the match. He is expected to continue the same form in this match as well.
