THU vs REN Match, Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Sam Harper (8 Matches, 230 Runs, SR: 157.53)

Sam Harper has been in a good hitting form in the tournament. His form has been decent and this makes him the best pick from the wicketkeepers category.

Batter

Olivier Davies (11 Matches, 323 Runs, SR: 141.66)

Olivier Davies has enjoyed batting in this tournament. He has scored consistent runs and at a good strike rate. His form in the tournament makes him a must-pick for the match.

All-rounder

Daniel Sams (10 Matches, 15 Wickets, Economy: 8.33)

Daniel Sams has been a prime wicket taker for the Sydney Thunder in this edition. He has been using his variations to great effect and is the safest pick from the all-rounders category.

Bowler

Tom Stewart Rogers (11 Matches, 19 Wickets, Economy: 8.58)

Tom Rogers has been the biggest weapon for the Melbourne Renegades with the ball. He has been a bit expensive but given the rate at which he picks up wickets, especially in the difficult death overs, Rogers is the best choice from the bowlers category for this match.

THU vs REN match Captain and Vice-captain choices

Daniel Sams

Bowlers are generally less favored as captains or vice-captains in fantasy contests. But the kind of form Sams is in, he is probably a better choice for the captain or vice-captain than any other batter. He can also come in handy with the bat lower down the order.

Tom Rogers

Once again, for a general fantasy player, keeping Rogers as the captain might look risky. But the way he has been performing with the ball in this tournament, Rogers might turn out to be a game changer for this match.
