SCO vs STR Dream11 Prediction: Pitch Report

The surface at the Optus Stadium is the one that is preferred by the bowlers, offering seam movement, the pitch is especially great for the pacers, and opting to bowl first after winning the toss could be a wise decision. Usually, it does quite a bit with the new ball for the first 10 overs and then batting gets easier in the next 10. So teams need to keep wickets in hand and they can score big in the second half. 

Fantasy Value from Pitch Report

  • Try to fit in the top 4 batters from both teams.
  • You can take the risk of dropping the spin bowler from the team bowling first.
  • Death bowlers from the first innings and batters will be good C/VC options.
