Top Fantasy Picks for BPH vs LNS, The Hundred 2021
Birmingham Phoenix
Moeen Ali
The experienced T20 all-rounder, Moeen Ali will be the key player for Birmingham Phoenix. Ali has been so good with his all-around performance in the limited-overs. The southpaw can bat in the middle-order and deliver a few hefty blows at an astounding strike rate. He‘s equally good with his slow off-spin to stem the flow of runs at any stage of the game. With his dual abilities, Moeen Ali will be one of the first picks in today's Dream11 Team Prediction for the BPH vs LNS match in The Hundred.
Liam Livingstone
The attacking middle-order batsman, Liam Livingstone is in a menacing form in limited-overs cricket. He was the Player of the Series in the recently concluded T20I series against Pakistan. He will be fresh from a century in the T20Is and will aim to continue his rampaging form even for the Phoenix in The Hundred.
Livingstone can even roll his arm over for his mighty effective leg-spin. He's a definite pick in today's Dream11 Team for the match against London Spirit. He's also a candidate pick for the captain of the team.
London Spirit
Mohammad Nabi
The Afghan all-rounder is all set to make his appearance for another franchise. Mohammad Nabi has been ever-so consistent with his performances in limited-overs cricket. He will bat in the lower middle-order and most likely will do the job as a finisher. Nabi would also bowl key spells for London Spirit. As a result, he's a welcome pick for today's BPH vs LNS Dream11 Team Prediction.
Josh Inglis
The wicket-keeper batsman has impressed most with his match-winning performances in the T20 Blast. The Australian opener would love to repeat his batting heroics for London Spirit in this match. Inglis will play a key role in giving a strong start at the top of the order. The 26-years-old is the highest run-scorer in T20 Blast 2021 with 531 including two hundred. Inglis will be one of the first picks in today's Dream11 team for BPH vs LNS 2021.
