SS vs BT Dream11 team tips for TNPL 2023
Top Tip: Best batter
Ba11sy Trichy captain Ganga Sridhar Raju scored 48 off 41 balls against Dindigul Dragons in their last match. The 30-year-old southpaw smashed four boundaries and two sixes to help his side post a respectable total on the board. Raju has accrued 64 fantasy points and will be a decent pick at 8.5 credits.
Top Tip: Best bowler
In the bowling department, Ba11sy Trichy’s T Natarajan will be the overwhelming choice. The left-arm pacer bowled brilliantly in their opening fixture against the Dragons. Natarajan conceded just 15 runs in his three overs, and also bagged the important wicket of Vimal Khumar. At 9 credits, the former India international will be a quality investment for this upcoming match.
Top Tip: Best all-rounder and wicket-keeper
As far as all-rounders are concerned, Salem Spartans’ Sunny Sandhu will be a great pick at 8 credits. The 19-year-old picked up two wickets against a star-studded Chepauk Super Gillies outfit. He also scored 19 runs off just 14 balls coming lower down the batting order. Having already accumulated 90 fantasy points, Sunny Sandhu is a must-pick in any fantasy team.
For the wicket-keeper spot, Amit Sathvik of Salem Spartans will be the fantasy recommendation over Ba11sy Trichy’s Mani Bharathi. Apart from fulfilling his wicket-keeping responsibilities, Amit Sathvik can contribute with the bat. The Spartans wicketkeeper-batter will be a valuable addition to any fantasy team at 7.5 credits.
