OVI vs BPH Dream11 Match Preview

The Oval Invincibles are in 4th position with 3 wins in 5 matches. Their 3 game winning streak was broken in the last game as they lost to the Trent Rockets by 25 runs.

Kane Richardson is their best bowler and he has picked wickets in every match. Moeen Ali has been in good form with the ball. Henry Brookers has been wicket-less since his 5-wicket haul against the Southern Brave. Overall, the Birmingham Phoenix need consistency from their players as they have a good chance of finishing in the top 3.

Top Captaincy Choices for OVI vs BPH Dream11 Match

• Moeen Ali: Moeen Ali is the best captaincy option for this game. Moeen will bat at number 3 and is in top form. He likes to deal in boundaries and can score big and score quickly. He has picked wickets as well and is a crucial player with his all-round attributes. Moeen failed with the bat but picked 2 wickets in the last game. He will be a key match-up against Sam Curran and Sunil Narine. 

• Liam Livingstone: Liam Livingstone is another top captaincy pick for this match. He is a brute hitter and an utility bowler who bowls both off-spin and leg-spin according to the match-up. He can win games on his own when on song. Livingstone has been a little inconsistent and needs to improve. He scored 51 runs in the second last game against the Trent Rockets. He will be a must pick.

• Sunil Narine: Sunil Narine is an excellent captaincy choice. He is a champion bowler in the shortest format and has been in excellent form in this season of The Hundred. Narine has picked wickets in almost every game and has scored runs as well. He will be a key bowler for his side especially against the duo of Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone. He scored 23 and picked one wicket in the last game.

Budget Pick for OVI vs BPH Dream11 Match

• Benny Howell (8.5 Credits): Benny Howell will be a great budget pick for your fantasy teams. Howell has been in excellent form and has given a couple of match winning performances. He will bat in the lower middle-order and he can tonk the ball. He will bowl his full quota of sets and is known for picking wickets using his cutters and different slower deliveries. Howell scored 22 runs in the last game and picked up 3 wickets in the game before that.

Differential Picks for OVI vs BPH Dream11 Match

• Miles Hammon: Miles Hammon will be a good differential pick for this game. He will open the innings for the Birmingham Phoenix. Hammond looked in good touch in the last game against the Northern Superchargers. He scored 31 runs when wickets kept on falling from the other end. The southpaw played some beautiful shots and can score big in this game. His only big threat is Sunil Narine but he is not expected to bowl with the new ball giving him the chance to get a good start.

• Jason Roy: Jason Roy is having a dreadful season. He has been clearly out of form and is struggling badly. Roy scored 20 runs in the last game and played a couple of good shots. He looked in decent touch and needs a bit of luck going in his favor. We all know what he is capable of and can help you win one sided in fantasy cricket if he gets going. He will be an excellent differential pick especially for small leagues.
