Today’s HEA vs THU Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Ben Duckett: Ben Duckett has shown glimpses of what he is capable of doing in this format, scoring some vital runs in the middle order. Apart from his explosiveness, he is a good option against spin, making him a good addition to your HEA vs THU Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Alex Hales: Alex Hales has underwhelmed in the BBL, failing to convert his starts into big ones. But he remains one of the best batters in the competition and given his ability to score big runs, he is one to watch out for in this game.

All-rounder

Daniel Sams: Daniel Sams has been earmarked as the designated finisher for the Thunder, a role he is still finding his feet in. However, he provides enough value with the ball to warranty a place in your HEA vs THU Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Mark Steketee: Mark Steketee is back in the Heat set-up with the Queenslander being one of their best bowlers last season. He is likely to start off as an X-Factor sub and then come into play although he should use his death-bowling skills to good effect, making him a decent addition to your fantasy team.
