PRE vs EAC Dream11 match top picks

Top Wicketkeeper Pick

Phil Salt (77 off 47 in the previous match vs EAC)

Phil Salt was the star of the show in the previous game, scoring a 47-ball 77. He has been in good form over the last year or so, impressing in The Hundred and also striking at 161.18 in T20Is. With the conditions suitable for batting at SuperSport Park, Salt is a must-have in your PRE vs EAC Dream11 prediction team.

Aiden Markram (31 T20I matches, 879 runs, SR: 147.73)

Aiden Markram is a proven performer in this format with 879 runs at a strike rate of 147.73 in T20Is. Markram can also add value with his off-spin. Although he did not score many runs in the previous game, Markram is capable of playing big knocks, making him a top pick for your PRE vs EAC Dream11 prediction team.

Top All-rounder Pick

JJ Smuts (66 off 51 in the previous match vs PRE)

JJ Smuts was the Sunrisers' top run-scorer in the previous game, scoring 66 runs at the top of the order. Apart from his recent form with the bat, Smuts can chip in with the ball as well, with figures of 0/12 from two overs against the Capitals earlier in the week. Given his experience and ability, Smuts is a viable option for your PRE vs EAC Dream11 prediction team.

Top Bowler Pick

Anrich Nortje (2/18 in the previous match vs EAC)

Anrich Nortje is one of the best bowlers in the world and for good reason. Nortje has a T20I bowling average of 19.69 and comes into the game on the back of figures of 2/18 against the Sunrisers. With extra bounce and pace on offer in Centurion, Nortje is a must-have in your PRE vs EAC Dream11 prediction team.

Tristan Stubbs

With Stubbs likely to be used as a floater in the batting unit, he is a viable pick as a captain or vice-captain in your PRE vs EAC Dream11 prediction team.
