Pitch Report
Captains
The Durham batter Graham Clark has scored 258 runs in the 8 innings in the ongoing edition, with an amazing average of 43.00 and a strike rate of 129.64, hitting 2 half-centuries. He can be chosen as one of the top captaincy picks considering his brilliant performance so far.
Worcestershire’s bowling all-rounder Thomas Taylor has been the top performer with the ball for his side. The 29-year-old has scalped 10 wickets in the 8 innings, including a performance of 3 wickets at the cost of 36 runs in a match. He could also be a very good option to choose as a captaincy pick.
Top
The Worcestershire batter Ethan Brookes is the leading run-scorer for his side in the Vitality Blast 2024. He has aggregated 183 runs in 8 innings with an average of 22.87, including the highest total of 42 runs.
The veteran Durham bowling all-rounder Ben Raine has been phenomenal with the ball in 7 innings he bowled. The 32-year-old has scalped 12 wickets with a brilliant economy rate of 6.97 and a strike rate of 12.33, including a five-wicket haul.
Budget
Worcestershire wicketkeeper-batter Gareth Roderick could be a budget pick for the fantasy team. He showed good form in the last game the last game he appeared against the Birmingham Spears, scoring 20 runs with the bat lower down the order, and picking two catches behind the wickets.
Worcestershire skipper Adam Hose can also be picked as a budget pick considering his crucial impact with the bat in the middle order.
