Pitch Report
One of the tracks used for the tournament have been a tad slow, and both these sides had given their opponents a hard time with good use of the slowish conditions. The track used for these games, however, could be much better for batting.
NW vs DG Dream11 Prediction
For fantasy managers, advice would be to take a majority of players from the Gladiators for your benefit. Despite their great recent run, the Northern Warriors have been heavily dependent on a few names to get their points and only those really make a case to be in your team.
NW vs DG Dream11 Captaincy Picks
Moeen Ali: The way he smacked his way to a 23-ball 77 with 3 fours and 9 sixes, Moeen Ali as it stands is an undisputed captaincy pick for your small leagues.
Kennar Lewis: He has been in good form lately and his power-packed performance alongside Moeen Ali in the last game makes him a worthy gamble for captaincy in mega leagues. He scored 168 runs thus far at a strike rate of 197.65.
Wanindu Hasaranga: Currently the highest wicket-taker in the league with 13 scalps in 7 games, Hasaranga makes a top case for multiplier roles. He can provide decent returns with vice-captaincy.
NW vs DG Dream11 Budget Picks
Tymal Mills: He joined the party a little late, but seems like Tymal Mills is having fun in Abu Dhabi. He picked up 5 wickets in 4 games and bowled exceptionally. He costs just 8.5 credits.
Rayad Emrit: The Caribbean veteran has been in stellar form in the tournament and is an absolute bargain for 8.5 credits. He has 7 wickets in 6 games thus far.
Umair Ali: He bowled just 1 over against Abu Dhabi but picked up one crucial wicket and conceded just 9 runs. Umair Ali can be a fine choice at 8.5 credits for fantasy managers.
