Fantasy Tips of The Day
James Vince’s top score (83*) of the season came at the very venue. All eyes yet again will be on him, as he has done the bulk of the scoring for Gulf. His 342 runs have come at an average of 42 and a strike rate of 136.
Emirates, however, have three star batters at their disposal. Kieron Pollard, Nicholas Pooran, and Muhammad Waseem have scored over 300 runs each at a combined average of 52.
In the league game between these teams, Chris Jordan (3 for 12 and a run out) was the captain of the Best11. All in all, he has sniped up 17 wickets at a strike rate of 10.3.
David Wiese is the only bowler from both teams to not go wicketless throughout the season. He has bagged 16 wickets, besides providing 30-run bonus twice with the bat down the order.
Dwayne Bravo featured in the Best11 in four consecutive games, striking especially at the death. He has scalped 12 wickets in 8 games.
In the last three games at the venue, three of four three-wicket hauls belonged to pacers.
