Smart Fantasy Picks
The left-arm pace duo of Paul Walter and Joshua Little have taken 23 wickets between them at an average of 10. They operate with both new and old ball, keeping fantasy players in the hunt throughout the game.
Another southpaw who has been consistently amongst wickets is Luke Wood. He has managed seven wickets in the last five games.
In the spin department, Samit Patel has been striking regularly, and moreover, has managed an economy of just under 8 RPO. In the only two innings he has gotten to bat in, he has registered scores of 13 and 21. He has been one of the safest picks in fantasy cricket.
Alex Hales has three scores in single digits and his remaining five scores read 58, 43, 38, 59, and 38. All he needs to do is get his eye in before he unveils his batting prowess.
The same has been the case with Colin Munro. He has gone all guns blazing once he found his feet. He has hit 190 runs at a strike rate of 165 including 19 fours and eight sixes.
Power Players
In the league game between these teams, Dawid Malan hammered 98* off 44 in a successful chase of 190 runs. His consistency throughout the tournament has placed him at the top of the batting chart: 358 runs at an average of 60 and a strike rate of 172. He has hit as many as 20 sixes.
The second in the list is Philip Salt. He has smashed 342 runs including three thirties and as many fifties. In the same game that Malan took centre stage, Salt had managed 70* off 46 in the first innings.
Fantasy Tip of The Day
Trent boast of a balanced team, while Manchester have new additions after losing a few superstars to injuries. Drafting more players from Trent is likely to reap more benefits in fantasy cricket.
