Qualifier 2 of the European Cricket Championship's Group C has Italy (ITA) taking on Germany (GER) at the Cartama Oval in Cartama on Friday.
Italy have been brilliant in their last few games with a couple of blistering performances with the bat. Their bowlers have been bang on the money as well, with Baljit Singh and co. just a win away from making it to the final. However, they face a strong German side who will be looking to return to winning ways. Although they lost their previous game to the Italians, Germany will head into this game as the clear favorites.

GER vs ITA, ECC 2021 Group C, Qualifier 2
Date and Time: 2nd October 2021, 5:30 PM IST
Venue: Cartama Oval, Cartama
Pitch Report
A good batting track is expected with another high-scoring game on the cards at the Cartama Oval. The pacers should get some swing and bounce off the surface, keeping the batters on their toes. However, the smaller dimensions of the ground should play into their favor. Wickets in hand will have a significant say in the game, with 110 being a good total at the venue. Although both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, the pitch shouldn't change much during the game.
Today’s GER vs ITA Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Husnain Kabeer: Husnain Kabeer didn't get a chance to bat against England XI, but he had a productive outing the last time he faced the Italians earlier in the week. Adding his wicketkeeping ability should only sweeten the deal for his inclusion in your fantasy team.
Batsman
Nasrullah Zadran: Nasrullah Zadran has blown hot and cold this season, but he presents a good case for his inclusion in your GER vs ITA Dream11 fantasy team. He should bowl a few overs in the middle overs as well, making him one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounder
Amir Sharif: Amir Sharif has been Italy's MVP in the European Cricket Championship with a heap of runs and wickets to his name. He scored a 26-ball 80 in the previous game to hand Italy a big win over the Czech Republic. He should get you some fantasy points if picked in your GER vs ITA Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Jaspreet Singh: Like Sharif, Jaspreet also had a good game against the Czech Republic with a couple of wickets to his name. Jaspreet is also a gun fielder, who took a stunner in the previous GER vs ITA clash, holding him in good stead ahead of this fixture.
