Date: Friday, 30th May 2025
Time: 11:00 PM IST
Venue: Trent Bridge, Nottingham
NOT vs BB Match Preview:
NOT have stormed into this edition with a 4-match unbeaten streak, showcasing a potent mix of batting firepower and disciplined bowling. In contrast, BB have had a mixed bag—winning two and losing two in their last four outings.
The conditions at Trent Bridge generally favour batsmen early on, but spin and slower bowlers come into play as the innings progresses. With the likes of Moeen Ali and Brookes Webster leading BB's charge, the battle in the middle overs will be key. Meanwhile, NOT's strong top order, featuring Joe Clarke and Haseeb Hameed, will be crucial if they are to maintain their winning run.
Fantasy users will be eager to capitalize on the early stage of the tournament with many top players yet to accumulate points—making this a perfect opportunity for differential picks.
Joe Clarke (NOT) – Selected by 84.62%. Explosive top-order hitter; popular pick with huge upside.
Ben Duckett (NOT) – Picked by 41.75%. Risky but can anchor innings if settled.
Tom Latham (BB) – Picked by 32.95%. Good international record but might bat lower.
Haseeb Hameed (NOT) – 73.44% selection; technically sound opener, provides steady points.
Jacob Bethell (BB) – Picked by 77.79%; aggressive, versatile in middle overs.
Jack Haynes (NOT) – 78.99% selection; consistent domestic performer.
Ben Slater / Sam Hain (BB) – Dependable options to fill in middle-order slots.
Moeen Ali (BB) – Selected by 87.02%, brings experience, power hitting, and spin; vice-captain in Team 1.
Brookes Webster (BB) – Most-picked (95.6%); fantasy gold with bat and ball, captain in both teams.
Daniel Sams / Moises Henriques / Chris Woakes / Ed Barnard – Solid utility picks depending on role and batting order.
Danny Briggs (BB) – 81.42%; spin-friendly pitch could suit him well.
Hasan Ali (BB) – 77.07%; experienced pacer, can pick up key wickets.
Ollie Stone (NOT) – Fast and effective; included in both team options.
George Garton (BB) – Only 10.78% selection; could be a surprise package if picked.
Captain: Brookes Webster (BB) – High-impact player with dual skill set, near-universal selection.
Vice-Captain Options: Moeen Ali (BB), Daniel Sams (NOT) – both reliable fantasy scorers who contribute with both bat and ball.

Tom Latham (BB): Limited fantasy impact expected, especially if batting lower down the order.
George Garton (BB): With just 10.78% selection and inconsistent game time, he's a risky pick.
Ben Duckett (NOT): Competing with Clarke for keeper spot; form concerns and lesser fantasy returns make him avoidable.
Nottingham are on a four-match winning streak and look more settled in terms of balance and form. With home advantage at Trent Bridge and a reliable top order, NOT are favourites to secure a win against BB.
