Pitch Report:

It’s a good sporting wicket, especially for this T20 format. The batters can score runs easily in the powerplay, but they will be challenged in the middle and death overs. The wicket will drastically slow down in the latter half, and hence, batting first is a good choice.

Top Picks for WI vs AUS Dream11 Match:

Top Picks ­– Batsmen

Lendl Simmons wasn’t striking at the rate he would have liked in the last game, as early wickets made him change his batting approach. With 2 fours and 2 sixes, he ended his innings for 27 runs. He is an experienced player and he can be backed to produce a better performance in the 2^nd T20I.

Aaron Finch had a bad day at the office, as he was dismissed for only 4 runs in the 1^st T20I. Australian Skipper is a resilient batter and knows how to make a comeback.

Top Picks ­– All-Rounders

Andre Russell was brutal against Australian bowlers in the 1^st T20I, as he hit some monstrous sixes in his innings. He scored his maiden T20I half-century and got out for 51 runs from just 28 balls, which comprised of 3 fours and 5 sixes.

Mitchell Marsh was quite extraordinary in the 1^st T20I. First, he was impressed with the ball by picking up 2 crucial wickets, and later on, he brought up his 1^st T20I half-century.

Top Picks ­– Bowlers

Obed McCoy was the player of the match in the 1^st T20I for his amazing bowling performances. He used his change-ups cleverly and picked up 4 wickets by conceding just 26 runs in his 4 overs.

Josh Hazlewood bowled effectively in the powerplay, where he dismissed the in-form Evin Lewis and Universe Boss Chris Gayle. Later on, get got one more big wicket of Andre Russell. He returned with the figures of 3 for 12.

Top Picks ­– Wicketkeepers

WI vs AUS Risky Captaincy Choices:

Shimron Hetmyer didn’t get any big score in his last few matches, but he can be deadly when he gets going. Considering his current run of form, he is a risky captaincy pick for your fantasy teams.

Josh Philippe is still in his early days at the International level. He has scored 106 runs in his 6 T20I matches. It’s a bit risky to pick him as the skipper.

Player you should avoid:

Fidel Edwards went for plenty of runs and didn’t pick wickets in the 1^st T20I. Considering his numbers in the 1st game, it’s better to avoid him while making your fantasy teams.
