TSKS vs SOR Match Preview

For a balanced Dream11 team, choose batters who can dismantle bowling attacks and bowlers who can capture crucial wickets. All-rounders will be essential, making impactful contributions in multiple ways.

Faf du Plessis does not have much more left to achieve where run-scoring in T20 cricket is concerned. He has 10389 runs in T20s including an astonishing six centuries and 71 half-centuries.

Devon Conway has been a formidable opening partner to his skipper. The New Zealander has scored 180 runs across five MLC 2024 innings including one 50.

Ryan Rickelton has fared well in his last ten T20s with the bat. In his last ten T20 games, he has scored 324 runs including his first hundred in his T20 career.

Cameron Gannon's returns show the value of the MLC to its local players. He is an American cricketer who has proven his class in a league filled with the world's best T20 cricketers.

Bowling all-rounder Harmeet Singh has 21 wickets in his T20 career. In addition to this, he has 232 runs in 17 T20 innings. He will be a useful contributor with bat and ball.

Weather Report

The weather on matchday is likely to feature scattered showers. Rain is predicted at a 30 percent chance of falling. Temperatures will be hot and humid.

Pitch Report

As the evening progresses, the outfield can become damp from the dew. This makes it challenging for bowlers to grip the ball and potentially aiding batters by making the ball skid on the surface.
