Topmost Picks for SCO vs THU Dream11 Prediction, 29th Match:

Top Picks – Perth Scorchers

• Josh Inglis – The keeper-batter top scored again for Perth Scorchers in the win over Melbourne Renegades. He hit five fours and one six and a quick-fire innings on this pitch could well be crucial.

• Jhye Richardson – The quick bowler got the big wicket of Martin Guptill in his first over on Sunday. He remains one of the most impressive bowlers in the tournament and will no doubt be dangerous in this game.

Top Picks – Sydney Thunder

• Alex Hales – Only Chris Lynn has scored more runs than the right-handed English opener in the tournament who was at his best hitting nine boundaries in the Saturday’s win.

• Nathan McAndrew – The right-arm fast medium bowler has not let Sydney Thunder down in any of his four appearances so far. He dismissed Shadab Khan in the win over Hobart Hurricanes.
