Lancashire will lock horns with Worcestershire in the North Group match of the T20 Blast 2021 at Old Trafford in Manchester on Thursday. Lancashire have had a rough outing in the T20 Blast ever since their last win over Derbyshire back on June 15.
The Dane Vilas-led team is currently placed sixth in the points table with eight points from nine matches. Meanwhile, Worcestershire must be high on confidence, especially after back-to-back wins over Durham and Leicestershire. They are placed fourth with a net run rate of -0.998.
On that note, here are three players whom you can pick as the captain or vice-captain in your Dream11 team for the T20 Blast 2021 match between Lancashire and Worcestershire.
Riki Wessels has been one of the major run-scorers for Worcestershire in the T20 Blast 2021. The right-hander has scored 221 runs from eight matches at an average of 27.62 and a strike rate of 133.93.
In his team’s previous match against Leicestershire, Wessels notched a 34-ball knock of 46 runs with the help of one four and three sixes. His top score of 77 came against Yorkshire on June 23.
Keaton Jennings has been fairly impressive for Lancashire in the ongoing T20 Blast. In his maiden appearance in the tournament, the left-hander scored a 61-ball knock of 88 runs in a losing effort.
In Lancashire’s previous game against Nottinghamshire, Jennings scored 21 runs. Overall, the southpaw has scored 115 runs from three matches at an average of 38.33 and a strike rate of 126.37.
Brett D'Oliveira has been a prolific run-getter for Worcestershire in the T20 Blast. The 29-year-old has scored 247 runs from eight matches at an average of 35.28 and striking at a reasonable rate of 127.97.
Having already scored three half-centuries, D'Oliveira is currently the leading run-scorer for his team. He can also bowl handy leg-breaks and has an economy rate of 5.42 in the tournament.
