Pitch Conditions

Average 1st innings score: 152

Top picks for RAR vs RAN Dream11 Prediction

RAR:

Andre Russell: World’s best all-rounder Russell is leading the team from the front scoring quick runs with the bat and taking crucial scalps. He has taken eleven scalps till now and also scored 7 ball-17 runs in the last match.

Ravi Bopara: Veteran Bopara is in very good form recently and is making important contributions with the bat as well as the ball. He has scored 141 runs in six innings along with eight scalps.

Liton Das: He is an attacking opener and has scored 236 runs in eight innings.

Shoaib Malik: Malik was in excellent touch during CPL’19 and continued his form in BPL scoring 217 runs including 61 run knock in third last match. He is also performing well with the ball. However, He has got out on a golden duck in the last two matches.

Afif Hossain: Talented youngster Afif will open the innings and has scored 76, 43 and 31 runs in three of the last four innings. He is also a genuine wicket-taking option with the ball and struck twice in the last match.

Mohammad Irfan: Pakistan pacer Irfan is in good bowling form currently and struck twice in the last encounter.

Alok Kapali: Spin all-rounder Kapali has got four scalps till now and also scored 31 runs in the last match. He can be a good grand league pick as he will bat at one down.

RAN:

Lewis Gregory: He is a talented all-rounder and has taken eleven scalps till now in eight matches along with few cameos with the bat. He scored 28 runs and struck twice in the last encounter.

Mohammad Naim: Young opener Naim has been in good form in recent times. He has scored 269 runs till now in eight matches.

Mustafizur Rahman: Pacer Rahman is the best Bangladesh pacer and has troubled world-class batsmen with his left-arm pace. He has taken twelve scalps this season, including three wicket-haul in two of the last three matches.

Shane Watson: Veteran Aussie star player Watson was at his former best in T10 league and will be eager to lead the batting unit from the front. However, He has failed till now in three matches.

Cameron Delport: He performed well in recently concluded Mzansi Super League but is generally a hit-or-miss type player. He scored 28-ball 63 and 31 runs in the last two matches and can also bowl a few overs of medium pace if required.

Mohammad Nabi: He is one of the best all-rounders in this format but has been lackluster till now in the season failing to put any splendid effort. He took one scalp each in the last three matches and should be tried as captain in grand leagues.

Taskin Ahmed: Pacer Taskin is a wicket-taking bowler and proved it in the last match taking four wicket-haul.

Arafat Sunny: Spinner Sunny is a talented performer and bowled well in two matches. He can also be handy with the bat.
