Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

Mzansi Super League 2019 action resumes with an exciting clash between Nelson Mandela Bay Giants and Cape Town Blitz on Wednesday. Cape Town Blitz currently leads the Points Table although Nelson Mandela Bay Giants is the only unbeaten side in MSL 2019. While the Blitz have relied on their batting unit to deliver the goods while setting targets, the Bay Giants have been clinical with the ball.

With the halfway mark of the tournament fast approaching, either side will eye a win to position themselves at the top of the Points Table. On paper, both sides are evenly matched although home conditions could give Nelson Mandela Bay Giants the edge heading into this high octane clash.

Weather Condition/Report:

The temperature is predicted to be around 18 Degrees Celsius with humidity being 65%, at the start of the match, according to AccuWeather. No rain is expected although a cloud cover of over 90% is expected during the first half of the match on Wednesday. Dew could also come into play as the game progresses.


Pitch Condition/Report:

The pitch at this venue is on the slower side with the previous game at the venue being an even contest between bat and ball.

Top Picks:

Quinton de Kock has only scored 107 runs for Cape Town Blitz this season.

Chris Morris has been brilliant for the Bay Giants with four wickets at an average of 10.50.

His economy rate of 4.67 stands out among his peer as he is one to watch out for in this game. Liam Livingstone is slowly finding his feet in MSL 2019. Having already belted the most sixes so far with nine, Liam Livingstone can also double up as a handy bowling option and pick a wicket or two as well. These players could be your top picks in Dream11 Fantasy.

Expert Advice:

With the pacers getting extra help from the overlying conditions, picking a minimum of three fast bowlers would be a dependable option. The likes of Junior Dala and Anrich Nortje are in decent form and available for reasonable credits as well

The pitch here could also be a touch slow with early wickets falling also being a possibility. Avoid picking too many openers in your Dream11 Fantasy team with J J Smuts being a bankable player owing to his left-arm spin as well.
