Pitch Report

The weather report suggests that there is likely to be no rain and fans will be hoping to see a full 100-overs game. The pitch at the venue has always been difficult for the batters and the same is expected today. The batters will need to be on their toes and spend some time in the middle to put up a good total on the board.

Today’s ESS vs DER Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Adam Rossington is capable of playing the big shots and is also very handy with the gloves, making him a top pick for the fixture.

Batter

Alastair Cook is a must-pick for your fantasy team. The player carries massive experience of having played cricket at the international level and can put up a strong showing.

All-rounder

Matt McKiernan was the only batter from Derbyshire to put some runs on the board during their batting collapse in the first fixture. The player kept his calm and displayed his abilities and we expect him to come good with both the bat and the ball.

Bowler

Derbyshire had very little to defend in the previous fixture but in whatever little we saw of Sam Conners, he showed his skills and picked up one wicket. With this pitch expected to help the pacers, we can expect him to come good.
