Top Picks for SOM vs SUR Dream11 Match:

Top Picks – Somerset

Tom Banton is a dangerous batsman and he loves batting at Taunton. He will enjoy batting in these conditions. He got an 8-ball 18 against Essex in the previous encounter. 

Marchant de Lange played the role of a late-order all-rounder in the first match of the tournament. He made a valuable contribution of 18 runs and then went on to take three crucial wickets for his side. 

Top Picks ­– Surrey

Sam Curran will be the most valuable player for Surrey this season until he is available. He picked up four wickets in the first match and also contributed 21 runs with his bat. 

Jason Roy scored a 42-ball 45 in Surrey’s first match of the tournament. He would be concerned with his strike rate and fans would want to see him in his beast mode when he demolishes attacks with just his touch and power. He will enjoy batting in Taunton.
