match top picks
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
Matthew Wade has performed admirably this season, scoring 101 runs in three games. While he only has 121 strikes this season, Wade has has one fifty. Wade is one of the competition’s more explosive hitters, and with McDermott out, he might be a valuable addition to your THU vs HUR Dream11 prediction squad.
Top Batter Pick

Daniel Sams had a strong effort earlier this week against the Brisbane Heat, taking two wickets and hitting 36 runs off only 15 balls. This season, he has 11 wickets at an average of 15.86 in six games. Sams is another must-have in your THU vs HUR Dream11 prediction squad, as he is expected to play a more major part due to Sandhu’s fitness issues.
Top Bowler Pick
Riley Meredith has been the Hurricanes’ most effective bowler this season, taking seven wickets in four games. In his previous BBL match, he grabbed three wickets against the Renegades. Meredith is a good option for your THU vs HUR Dream11 prediction squad since he has shown promise in all parts of an innings.
