DUB vs ECB Dream11 Team News:
Dubai:
- Though the team is doing well in the tournament, they are dependent more on their bowlers and most of the batsmen have a strike-rate lesser than 120.
- Punya Mehra has been consistent with the bat for the team but once again strike-rate has been the issue. He has a strike-rate of 90.12.
- Adnaan Khan is the best batsman in the team but he is yet to perform big here. He averages close to 13 in the tournament.
ECB Blues
- While ECB Blues have done well with the bat, they are struggling with the ball, especially in the death overs.
- Another trouble for the team is that they keep changing the batting combination on the top and it does affect the momentum of the team.
- Aryan Lakra is the most popular pick from ECB Blues, thanks to his five-wicket haul earlier in the tournament.
