Pitch Report

As seen in previous games at the venue, the pitch is slightly on the slower side. The pacers should get the ball to move around, keeping the batters on their toes. As the match progresses, the pitch should even out a bit, making it more favorable for batting. Both teams will prefer batting first upon winning the toss, with 150 being a good total at the venue.

Today's UTL vs BZW Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Sanaboyina Tarun: Sanaboyina Tarun had a decent outing in the previous game, but couldn't convert his start into a big one. He looks technically sound and can clear the boundary at will. With his wicketkeeping skills also bound to come into play, Tarun is one to watch out for in this game.

Batter

Ricky Bhui: Ricky Bhui is a talented batter who has been a consistent performer for the Andhra Ranji team for quite some time now. The former U-19 star is known for his ability to score big runs and showed glimpses of his ability in the previous game. With Bhui due a big one, he is a must-have in your UTL vs BZW Dream11 fantasy team.

All-rounder

Shoaib Md Khan: While Shoaib Md Khan didn't have much to do with the bat, he had already done the damage with the ball for the Lions. Shoaib put in an economical spell, conceding just 18 runs and picking up a couple of wickets. Given his form and experience, Shoaib should be a good addition to your UTL vs BZW Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Bandaru Ayyappa: Bandaru Ayyappa put in a decent performance for the Tigers in their opening encounter, conceding just 23 runs and taking a wicket. Ayyappa, like Bhui and Shoaib, has been part of the state team and has even spent time in the IPL with the Delhi Capitals. Given his ability to pick up wickets in the powerplay and death overs, he is a good addition to your UTL vs BZW Dream11 fantasy team.
