Pitch Report

The pitch at the Sophia Gardens is a good one to bat on with little help on offer for the pacers. Although there shouldn't be much swing on offer for the bowlers, the spinners should ideally get some turn off the surface, making for an even contest in the middle overs. Wickets in hand will be key in the Hundred format, with 140 being a par total. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with the pitch not likely to change much during the game.

Today's WEF vs SOB Hundred Dream11 match top picks

Wicket-keeper

Jonny Bairstow: Perhaps one of the most explosive openers in the game, Jonny Bairstow took to the Hundred like a fish to water with a 36-ball 56 in his very first outing for Welsh Fire. With little to no swing on offer for the pacers and given Bairstow's prowess against spin, he is sure to be a popular pick in the WEF vs SOB Hundred Dream11 team.

Batsmen

James Vince: James Vince couldn't fire in his first Hundred outing, but he has been in stellar form in recent weeks for both Hampshire and the England ODI team. Watch out for his explosive batting in the powerplay overs against the likes of Liam Plunkett and Jake Ball.

Devon Conway: One of the breakout stars of 2021, Devon Conway has been sensational in England all throughout the summer. Although he came up short in the previous game, expect the southpaw to deliver a lot of points for your WEF vs SOB Hundred Dream11 team.

All-rounders

James Neesham: Kiwi allrounder James Neesham chipped in with an 11-ball 30 for the Welsh Fire in their previous game. Neesham is certainly one to keep an eye on in this Hundred fixture, given his finishing and bowling prowess.

Bowlers

Jake Ball: Notts pacer Jake Ball used his variations to perfection in his first Hundred game with the Welsh Fire, returning with figures of 1 for 24. With the Sophia Gardens also expected to be on the slower side, Ball is likely to be Bairstow's go-to man in the crunch moments.

Danny Briggs: The Southern Brave's lead spinner, Danny Briggs, is up for a big performance. With spin expected to play a significant role, watch out for Briggs and his clever use of the crease in the middle overs.
