Fantasy Tips of The Day
Perth batters have made merry at their home ground this season. While Cameron Bancroft averages 114 in 5 games, Ashton Turner (274 runs) and Aaron Hardie (272 runs) have been doing the bulk of the scoring in the middle overs.
To further strengthen Hardie’s case, his scores against Brisbane in the league stage read 57 off 33 and 67 off 35.
Andrew Tye has had an incredible time collecting wickets at Perth. In 8 matches, he has sniped up 14 wickets at a strike rate of 13. He is also the highest wicket-taker in the contests between these teams.
David Payne has been selected by an average of 18% players in the last 5 games, but he made it to the Ultimate Team in all the outings, overall managing 9 wickets. To put it simply, he has been a dark horse in fantasy leagues.
Jason Behrendorff has gone wicketless only once in the last 10 matches, taking 13 wickets in total.
Michael Neser has provided a three-wicket haul bonus as many as five times and a 30-run bonus twice this season.
The pitch is a batting beauty so much so that 9 fifties were scored in the last 3 games.
