Pitch Report

A good batting track beckons at the MCG with ample help on offer for the bowlers. The pacers might not get much swing early on, something which the batters will look to make the most of in the powerplay overs. As the match progresses, the spinners will come into play, with the faster bowlers also likely to take the pace off towards the backend of the innings. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 270-280 being a good total at the venue.

Today’s VCT vs NSW Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Matt Gilkes: Matt Gilkes is one of the brightest talents in the NSW set-up, with his ability to play big knocks being a trademark. Although he may bat lower down the order, Gilkes is a handy option to have over Sam Harper in your VCT vs NSW Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter
