Top Picks for BPH vs SOB Dream11 Match:

Top Picks – Batters

James Vince:

The experienced English batter was the leading run-scorer for his team last year and smashed unbeaten 71 runs off 41 balls in the opening match this season.

Liam Livingstone:

The star batter smashed the highest 47 runs off 28 balls against Trent Rockets in the opening match and also took a wicket. He will be a very good captaincy choice in this match.

Top Picks – All-Rounders

Moeen Ali:

The in-form all-rounder was excellent against Trent Rockets in the last match with both bat and ball. Moeen Ali scored 35 runs off just 21 balls and then took David Malan’s big wicket to put all-round display.

Top Picks – Bowlers

Chris Jordan:

The English pacer took two wickets while conceding just 16 runs in 15 balls against Welsh Fire in the opening match and will be a key bowler for Southern Brave this season.

Imran Tahir:

The veteran leg spinner conceded 28 runs from his 15 deliveries and also failed to take any wicket. But Tahir is likely to turn around his form with wickets against Southern Brave.

Top Pick – Wicketkeeper

Quniton de Kock:

The star South African batter missed the opening match due to national duties but now he is available for the selection against Birmingham.

BPH vs SOB Must Picks Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Suggested Playing XI No.1 for BPH vs SOB Dream11 Team for Fantasy Cricket:

Quinton de Kock, Liam Livingstone (vc), James Vince (c), Tim David, Will Smeed, Moeen Ali, Marcus Stoinis, Chris Jordan, Imran Tahir, Kane Richardson, Craig Overton.

Quinton de Kock (c), Chris Benjamin, Liam Livingstone, James Vince, Tim David, Moeen Ali (vc), Marcus Stoinis, Graeme van Buuren, Chris Jordan, Craig Overton, Tom Helm.

BPH vs SOB Risky Captaincy Choices:

Tim David:

The star batter didn’t get a chance to showcase his big-hitting skills in the opening match. He is in good form but is unlikely to get you big points with his usual cameo knocks.

Marcus Stoinis:

The star Australian all-rounder bowled only five balls in the first opening match and is likely to bowl his full quota will so many bowling options available for Southern Brave.

Players you should avoid:

Rehan Ahmed:

The 17-year-old all-rounder has shown great potential to be a star player in near future but it will be wise to avoid him, with plenty of international bowlers available in this mega clash on Wednesday.
