Teams Preview (Top Players to Bet)
Northern Superchargers
Northern Superchargers look stronger than Welsh Fire, as their squad has multiple options to form a strong playing XI based on the pitch conditions. Although the Leeds pitch supports both batters and bowlers equally, Northern may choose to play four bowlers, including one spinner such as Adil Rashid or Mitchell Santner. They also have strong all-rounders, but will likely need to pick a full-time batter in the top order. Harry Brook is leading the side; he played some wonderful innings against India in Test matches, so his confidence will be at its peak.
NS- M Probable Playing XI:
Zak Crawley, Michael Pepper (wk), Dawid Malan, Harry Brook (c), David Miller, Dan Lawrence, James Fuller, Brydon Carse, Matthew Potts, Adil Rashid, Ben Dwarshuis
NS- M Top Player to bet on- Harry Brook and Adil Rashid
Welsh Fire
Welsh Fire has a strong record, winning two out of four matches, with one match ending without a result. However, the squad lacks depth for the upcoming contests. Although Bairstow and Smith are potential game-changers, their recent form raises some questions. From a bowling perspective, the team does not have any standout bowlers except Chris Woakes, who got injured during the last Test against India. Finding his replacement could be a significant challenge.
WF- M Probable Playing XI:
Stephen Eskinazi, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Steve Smith, Tom Abell (c), Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Luke Wells, Paul Walter, Chris Green, Saif Zaib, David Payne, Riley Meredith
SB- M Top Player to bet on- Jonny Bairstow and Riley Meredith
Weather & Pitch Report
The pitch at Leeds offers assistance to both batters and bowlers in the 100-ball competition. While seam bowling can still make an impact early on, the slightly flat surface and minimal seam movement after the powerplay tend to favor the batters.
Matchday in Leeds is expected to be partly sunny with warm and humid conditions. Rain is highly unlikely, with only an 11% chance of occurring.
NS- M vs WF- M Dream 11 Teams
- Wicket-keeper: J Bairstow (C), T Kohler-Cadmore
- Batter: S Smith, H Brook (VC), D Miller
- All-rounder: C Green, S Zaib
- Bowler: M Potts, A Rashid, Riley Meredith
Pro Tip: Always check your fantasy team after the playing 11 is announced. It usually happens about half an hour before the match starts. So, after 10:30 PM (IST), review the playing 11 and compare it with your fantasy team to make sure everything matches.
