LAN vs LEI Top Picks for LAN vs LEI Dream11 Match:

Top Picks – Lancashire

Jos Buttler is the star international player in this team and would want to step up after making just 30 runs in the opening match. His experience of 6783 runs speaks volumes of his class.

Liam Livingstone started this year’s campaign with a brilliant knock of 94 not out and would like to continue his good form. He is an excellent T20 batsman, an exhibition of which we saw in the last game. 

Top Picks ­– Leicestershire

Colin Ackermann is someone who can make things happen with the bat and the ball. He holds a lot of importance in this Leicestershire side. He has scored 2700 runs in T20 cricket along with 55 wickets. 

Josh Inglis is an excellent T20 batsman and wicketkeeper. His exploits were seen in the last edition of the Big Bash League. He has 941 runs from 37 innings with a strike rate 143.44.

LAN vs LEI Risky Captaincy Choices:

Aaron Liley is a good player to have in your fantasy team. However, his contributions on most occasions are quite minimal and lesser than what you would expect your captain to do. 

M Parkinson has the ability to pick up wickets regularly but you would rather have a batsman as the captain to gain more points. 

Player you should avoid:

Luke Wood has played 39 matches in his career and picked up 32 scalps, that’s less than one wicket per match. It is best to avoid him as he can be inconsistent at times.
