The ninth match of the European Cricket League (ECL) 2022 has Helsinki Titans (HT) taking on Dreux (DRX) at the Cartama Oval in Cartama on Tuesday.
The Helsinki Titans recovered from a loss to Tunbridge Wells in their opening fixture with a big win over Star CC. Led by Aniketh Pusthay, the Titans have given a good account of themselves with both the bat and ball, and will be keen to sustain their newfound momentum. However, they face Dreux, who nearly pulled off a huge win against the Austrian Cricket Tigers in their only game on Monday. Blessed with a talented bowling attack, Dreux will fancy their chances of beating a strong Titans side, paving the way for a cracking contest in Cartama.

Pitch Report
Another high-scoring game beckons at the Cartama Oval with the dimensions of the ground not helping the bowlers' cause. There will be some swing on offer for the pacers early on. The spinners could also get some spin off the surface, paving the way for a good contest between the bat and ball in the middle overs. Both teams will ideally look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 110 being a bare minimum at the venue.
Today’s HT vs DRX Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Aniketh Pusthay: Aniketh Pusthay is a technically sound batter who relies on conventional shots to do his bidding, even in the shortest format. Although he did get a few starts on the opening day, he wasn't able to convert them into big ones. With his ability to score against both pace and spin, Pusthay should be a good addition to your HT vs DRX Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Abdul Ahad Qureshi: Abdul Ahad Qureshi was bang on target with the ball in both games, but his batting left a lot to be desired. While he should continue to be a threat on the bowling front, the value he adds as a batter should hold him in good stead going into this game.
All-rounder
Tabish Bhatti: Tabish Bhatti took a couple of wickets against Austrian Tigers, albeit in a losing cause. He would be keen to make up for it with another impactful performance and get some much-needed runs, making him a must-have in your HT vs DRX Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Afridi Yaseen: Dreux pacer Afridi Yaseen was bang on the money in his first ECL outing, turning out figures of 2/9. Although he couldn't get his side over the line, Yaseen's ability to swing the ball should serve him well and yield a wicket or two in this game.
