NOT vs HAM, 2nd Quarter-final, T20 Blast 2021
Date and Time: 25th August 2021, 11:00 PM IST
Venue: Trent Bridge, Nottingham
Pitch Report
A high-scoring game beckons at Trent Bridge with little to no help on offer for the pacers. Although there will be some movement available early on, the faster bowlers will look to use change-of-pace deliveries more often than not. The spinners will be key in the middle overs, but the dimensions of the ground go against them. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 170-180 being a decent score at the venue.
Today’s NOR vs HAM Dream11 Match Top Picks
Wicketkeeper
Ben Duckett: Ben Duckett comes into the fixture on the back of a fairly successful Hundred campaign with Welsh Fire. Given his experience and form, Duckett should ideally play as the first-choice wicketkeeper in your NOR vs HAM Dream11 fantasy team.
Batsman
James Vince: The Hundred Men’s 2021 winning captain James Vince has had a brilliant summer so far with a heap of runs under his belt. With the conditions suiting his batting style as well, Vince should ideally get some runs against a decent Notts bowling unit.
All-rounder
D’Arcy Short: D’Arcy Short played quite a few games at Trent Bridge as part of the Trent Rockets in The Hundred 2021. He has shown glimpses of his ability with both the bat and ball and will be itching to get a big one in this high-octane clash.
Bowler
Matt Carter: Matt Carter has been Nottinghamshire’s go-to bowler, especially at Trent Bridge. Given his ability to generate bouncy deliveries, Carter should prove to be a handful for Hampshire and ideally pick a wicket or two in today’s game.
