Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

Match 7 of the ongoing Taipei T10 League 2020 will see Hsinchu Titans clashing off against Taiwan Dragons on Saturday. It has been a while since the two teams played a match in the league. So, we can expect the players to be fresh and ready for this clash.

Hsinchu Titans played two matches last weekend, out of which they won one and lost one. They beat Taiwan Daredevils by six wickets while they lost a very close match against TCA Indians by just three runs.

Taiwan Dragons, on the other hand, have played one match and lost that. They lost to TCA Indians by 14 runs. Both the teams would want to get a win under their belt in order to move forward in the league.

Weather Report

There is a slight chance of rain in Songshan District on Saturday. But it shouldn’t affect the length of the match. The temperature is expected to hover around 28-30 Degrees Celsius during the game.

Pitch Report

Last weekend saw bowlers having a better outing. The highest score on this pitch was 74 runs in the six matches which were played. It is expected even this weekend, bowlers will hold an upper hand. We could see batsmen not being able to get big totals. The team that wins the toss is more likely to field as the record of chasing is better than defending.

Adam Hopkins and Rishi Josula were the wicket-takers for the Dragons in their previous game. Rishi Josula also got some runs in the last game. Santosh Yadav and Athula Senadeera are also good picks for their side. As Dragons have played only one match, it is difficult to say who is in form and who isn’t.

For the Titans, Pramod Kumar Mondal has been bowling really well. In the two matches, he has taken two wickets and only given 15 runs from his four overs. Manikandan has also been impressive in both departments, especially with the ball. He has picked up three wickets from two matches and was the highest scorer for his side in the first match. Vijay Kumar got a quickfire 28 in the last game and he could also be a good pick.
