Today’s SCO vs ZIM Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Regis Chakabva: Although Regis Chakabva's form has tailed off in the last few games, he remains Zimbabwe's go-to batsman in the powerplay overs. His ability to take on fast bowlers makes him a handy option to have in your fantasy team.

Batsman

Craig Ervine: Zimbabwe captain Craig Ervine has been brilliant since promoting himself to the no.3 slot. The southpaw will be crucial to Zimbabwe's fortunes in the middle overs and should score some runs in today's game.

All-rounder

Richie Berrington: Richie Berrington, with his explosive batting and handy bowling ability, provides some much-needed balance to the Scottish side. With his all-round ability bound to come into play in the middle overs, Berrington is a must-have in your SCO vs ZIM Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Blessing Muzarabani: Blessing Muzarabani's form in the shorter formats has been brilliant, with him even picking up six wickets in three ODIs against Ireland. Given his form, Muzarabani is surely one to watch out for in this game.
