BAN-W vs UP-W Dream11 Best Team Prediction

Top Fantasy Picks - All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

Top Batsman Picks - BAN-W vs UP-W Dream11

• Tahlia McGrath - McGrath was in brilliant form in the last season. She scored 302 runs and picked 2 wickets in 9 matches. She has been in good form lately as seen in the series against South Africa in February.
• Ellyse Perry - Perry played 8 matches last season in which she scored 253 runs and picked 4 wickets. She has been on and off this year but we are expecting her to score big again this year in WPL.
• Grace Harris - Grace Harris played 6 games last season in which she scored 230 runs at an average of 57.5 and strike rate of 165.46. She has played a few matches this year but did not get to bat but she looks confident to score runs this season.

Top Bowler Picks - BAN-W vs UP-W Dream11

• Sophie Ecclestone - Ecclestone was the joint-highest wicket taker of the 2023 edition. She picked 16 wickets in 9 matches at an impressive average of 14.68.
• Deepti Sharma - Deepti Sharma picked 9 wickets in 9 matches and scored 90 crucial runs in the WPL 2023. She has played 4 international matches so far in 2024 and has not gone wicket-less in any match.
• Sophie Devine - Sophie Devine played well for RCB in the last season scoring 266 runs and picked 3 wickets. We are backing her as a key all-rounder for this season as well but more for her bowling as she has been in good form with the ball in the last season but not able to score many runs.

Top Picks for Captain and Vice Captain - BAN-W vs UP-W Dream11

• Dream11 Captain Options - Tahlia McGrath, Grace Harris

• Dream11 Vice Captain Options - Sophie Devine, Smriti Mandhana

Players To Avoid - BAN-W vs UP-W Dream11

• Sobhana Asha - Asha has not played any matches this year and it might her some time to get into rhythm. She was decent for RCB in the last season picking 5 wickets in 5 matches but we are not expecting wickets from her in the first game.
• Anjali Sarwani - Sarwani picked 4 wickets in 9 matches in the last season for UP-W. She has not been active in competitive cricket in 2024 and last played in WPL 2023. We are not expecting wickets from her in the first match.
