Pitch Report

Rain is expected to play spoilsport yet again at the Cartama Oval, but at least a shortened game is expected. There should be ample swing on offer for the pacers owing to the overcast conditions in store. Although the batters will look to go on the attack from the start, the sluggish outfield won't help their cause. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 100 being the bare minimum at the venue.

Today’s MAL vs GRD Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Afzal Shah: Afzal Shah had a decent few games earlier in the week for Malaga, scoring some runs in the top order. The Malaga wicketkeeper has been brilliant behind the stumps as well, which should hold him in good stead ahead of the match.

Batter

Joe Whitehead: Joe Whitehead is one of the highest runscorers this week with a couple of handy knocks at the top of the order. Like Afzal Shah, Whitehead also adds value with his wicketkeeping skills, making him a must-have in your MAL vs GRD Dream11 fantasy team.

All-rounder

Nauman Abid: Although Nauman Abid batted in the top order, the Malaga all-rounder wasn't able to get going with the bat. However, Abid is one of their better batters and is capable of clearing the boundary at will, making him a decent addition to your MAL vs GRD Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Vivian Kingma: Vivian Kingma, who has played for the Dutch national side, has troubled the opposition batters with his express pace and accuracy. The Dutchman will be keen to get amongst the wickets and can be backed to do so given the conditions on offer.
