Player Picks

9
C

Steve Smith AUS | BAT

The star Australian batter continues his red-hot form with a double ton in the first innings and an unbeaten 20 in the second innings of the first match. Smith is in great form lately with three 80-plus knocks from his last five matches.

9
VC

Marnus Labuschagne AUS | BAT

Labuschagne smashed 204 runs in the first innings and 104* off just 110 balls in the first Test match to win the player of the match award. He now ranks first in the current ICC Test batter chart and will be a safe captaincy choice for this fixture.

8.5
VC

Kraigg Brathwaite WI | BAT

West Indies captain scored 64 runs in the first innings and smashed 110 in the second innings in the first Test match but was not able to guide his team to a victory.

9

David Warner AUS | BAT

The star Australian opener was bowled out on just five runs in the first innings but managed to score 48 runs in the second innings of the last match. He scored one big fifty and a hundred in the recent ODI series against England.

7.5

Alzarri Joseph WI | BOWL

The star Caribbean pacer struggled for the wickets in the first Test match but scored 43 runs off 72 balls in the second innings. He has been in excellent form across formats and can contribute more points with his batting skills.

8.5

Nathan Lyon AUS | BOWL

The veteran Australian spinner took two wickets in the first innings and grabbed six in the second innings of the first match to bowl out West Indies on 333 runs.

6.5

Tagenarine Chanderpaul WI | BAT

The left-handed batter made his international debut in the last match and shined while opening an innings for West Indies. He scored 51 & 45 from both innings and is available for only 6.5 credits on the Dream11 Team.

8

Usman Khawaja AUS | BAT

The veteran Australian batter scored 65 runs in the first innings and has been in excellent form in red-ball cricket lately. Khawaja has scored 3846 runs at an average of 46.90 in Test cricket and costs only 8.0 credits in the Dream11 Team.

8

Travis Head AUS | BAT

The in-form batting all-rounder was unfortunate to get out on 99 runs in the first innings and didn't get a chance to bat in the second innings of the last game.
