Today’s POR vs AUT Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

When it comes to donning the wicketkeeping gloves, there are few players better than A Bilal. The fact that he’s also an incredible batter makes him a convincing choice for your fantasy team.

Batsman

S Gomes is known to bide his time in the middle before unleashing the big shots. And once he gets going, it’s hard to stop him. Gomes scored a brilliant 78-run knock, including eight fours and six sixes, against Hungary. He’s Portugal's top runscorer in the European Cricket Championship.

All-rounders

All-rounders are extremely crucial in the T10 format and A Zaib has been at the top of his game in recent fixtures. Not having him as a multiplier choice in your POR vs HUN Dream11 fantasy team could be a big mistake. With 222 runs at an average of 31.71 and a strike rate of 200, he’s the sixth-highest scorer in the European Cricket Championship. Zaib has also picked up eight wickets.

I Khan, who bowls right-arm medium pace, is another great choice for an all-rounder in your fantasy team. In addition to picking up 12 wickets, he has scored 41 runs in the European Cricket Championship.

Bowler

J Khan’s right-arm medium pace could prove hard to deal with. He’s in excellent form, having picked up five wickets in the last two matches. He’s Portugal's highest wicket-taker in the European Cricket Championship.
