Pitch Report

The pitch at Diamond Oval is on the slower side with the batsmen having to work hard for their runs. The powerplay overs will be key to either side's fortunes, with runscoring being easier against the hard new ball. As the game progresses, the bowlers will look to vary their pace accordingly. Both teams will ideally look to bat first and make good use of the conditions upfront, with 150 being a good total at the venue.

Today’s SWD vs LIO Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Jean Du Plessis: Although Jean du Plessis couldn't get going in the previous game, it didn't deter the South Western Districts at all. However, Jean is a good player of both pace and spin, which should serve him well in this game.

Batsman

Dominic Hendricks: Dominic Hendricks showed glimpses of his ability in his last two outings. Hendricks has some experience to fall back on and should get some quick runs in the middle overs, making him a good option to your SWD vs LIO Dream11 fantasy team.

Allrounder

Sisanda Magala: Sisanda Magala came up trumps with both the bat and ball in the previous game, leading the Lions to a Super Over win. With form and experience on his side, Magala is surely one to keep an eye out for in this game.

Bowler

Hershell America: Herschell America has been the standout bowler in this tournament with six wickets in two games. America has shone with the new ball, with his death bowling prowess also stealing the spotlight. With the pitch favoring him as well, America should pick up a wicket or two in this game.
