OVI vs BPH Dream11 match top picks

Top Wicketkeeper Pick

Matthew Wade (4 matches, 65 runs)

Matthew Wade has been used in a middle-order role by the Phoenix this season. He has put in scores of 10,38,14 and three with a strike rate of 127.4. While he is unlikely to open the batting, Wade is an experienced campaigner who can go after both the pacers and spinners. Although Sam Billings is not a bad option by any means, Wade's favorable match-up with the Oval Invincibles spinners should hold him in good stead.

Top Batter Pick

Will Jacks (4 matches, 201 runs, Average: 67.00)

Will Jacks has been one of the stars of the tournament, scoring 201 runs in just four matches. He is one of two centurions in the competition, with him scoring 108 (48) in his previous appearance at the Oval. With the Oval Invincibles opener presenting a handy bowling option, Jacks is a must-have in your OVI vs BPH Dream11 fantasy team.

Top All-rounder Pick

Sam Curran (5 matches, 132 runs, 5 wickets)

Sam Curran has perhaps been the Oval Invincibles' most important player this season. He is among the team's highest run-getters and has bowled in crunch overs with aplomb. Like Jacks, Curran has been brilliant at the Oval with a player-of-the-match performance to his name against the Northern Superchargers. Given the conditions on offer, Curran is an important pick for your Dream11 fantasy team.

Top Bowler Pick

Tom Helm (5 matches, 7 wickets, Average: 18.71)

Tom Helm has been the surprise package for the Birmingham Phoenix, picking up seven wickets in five matches. While he has been a touch expensive at times, Helm has hit hard lengths and consistently outfoxed batters. With Helm picking up a wicket in every game in the Hundred this season, he could be backed to continue the trend against the Oval Invincibles.

OVI vs BPH match captain and vice-captain choices

Jason Roy

Jason Roy has been in woeful form, scoring just 30 runs in five matches. He has tried a touch too hard in getting himself into runscoring ways, a ploy that has backfired. But Roy remains a brilliant player of pace. With none of the Birmingham Phoenix pacers oozing fear, this is perhaps Roy's best chance for a big score in the Hundred.

Liam Livingstone

Liam Livingstone is Birmingham Phoenix's top runscorer this season, scoring 128 runs in five matches. While he has blown hot and cold with the ball (one wicket at an average of 57.00), Livingstone has three scores of 20 or more with the bat. With the star all-rounder in good form, Livingstone is a fine choice for captaincy in your OVI vs BPH Dream11 fantasy team.
