Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The match will be played at a brand new venue known as the Oakland Coliseum in California. Since this is the first time a cricket match will be played here, not much is known about how it will behave. Nevertheless, we are expecting a balanced surface.

The weather will remain clear and sunny throughout the day with pleasant temperatures and no chance of rain.

SFU vs WF Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Finn Allen was one of San Francisco’s leading run-scorers last year and has amassed over 300 runs, making him the obvious choice. We are also picking Tim Seifert as he has been pretty consistent in the T20 format of late.

Batters

Jake Fraser-McGurk and Glenn Maxwell are among the most explosive batsmen in the league and are the top picks. Sanjay Krishnamurthy scored a brilliant half-century against Washington last year and also made it to the playing XI.

All Rounders

Both teams have plenty of all-rounders to choose from and we are selecting Matthew Short, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Owen, and Glenn Phillips

Bowlers

Saurabh Netravalkar had an excellent season last year and made it on our team. We are also adding Haris Rauf as his new-ball partner.

SFU vs WF Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Matthew Short is our choice as the captain of our team. He has been one of the most consistent all-rounders in T20 leagues and also contributed well in the previous edition of MLC.

Vice-Captain

Glenn Maxwell is likely to have recovered from his injury and will play in this match. He needs no introduction thanks to his hard-hitting skills and can also be a handy spinner. His fielding abilities are a big bonus.

SFU vs WF Team Expert Advice

Since this is the first match that will be played at this venue, not much is known as to how it will behave. We have therefore tried to select a balanced squad that has equal weightage to the batsmen and the bowlers. Also, since most of our all-rounders are slower bowlers, we have selected two full-time seamers in the bowling department.
