Today’s GSY vs NOR Dream11 match top picks

Wicket-keeper

Kuruge Abeyrathna: Kuruge Abeyrathna does not have a lot of experience in T20I cricket and has only played five games for Norway so far. He has managed to score 58 runs in five matches with a high score of 30.

However, he is capable enough of providing the team with stability in the middle and scoring some crucial runs. Abeyrathna will be a key member of Norway's batting line-up for this tournament. Thus, he is a vital pick for your GSY vs NOR Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Ben Ferbrache: Ben Ferbrache is a right-handed batter who will hold the key for Guernsey at the top of the order. Out of 10 T20I matches in his career so far, he has scored 138 runs with a high score of 55. Again, he has the capability to score some important runs at the top and get the team off to a steady start in the game.

All-rounder

Raza Iqbal: Raza Iqbal is probably one of the most important players for Norway. The skipper brings in a decent amount of experience. He has played 10 T20I matches and has scored 150 runs at a strike-rate of 102.04.

Raza is much more effective with the ball. He has grabbed 12 wickets and, more importantly, maintained a brilliant economy rate of just 5.25. Therefore, not only can he pick up wickets, but he can also stem the flow of runs. For his all-round abilities, Raza is a must-pick for your Dream11 fantasy team.
