Captain and vice-captain:
B Smith was sensational in the last match as he made a terrific knock of 79 balls off 105 balls. He is a consistent List-A batter and averages 33.01 in List-A cricket and has scored 3136 runs.
G Worker continues his stellar form in this tournament as he made 52 runs from 71 balls in the last game. He had made 125 runs in the previous game. So now he has a hundred and a fifty in his last two innings. So he is the perfect pick for captain.
J Bhula played a composed knock of 97 runs from 114 balls in the previous game. He scored 5 fours in that innings. Expect him to pile up more runs in this game.
A Fletcher was very good as an opener in the previous game. He made 53 runs from 73 balls. He has a very impressive List-A record as he made 618 runs at an average of 56.18 and has scored 3 hundreds and 3 fifties in 12 innings.
Both teams have a solid top-order but it is the bowling of Wellington that gives them the edge. So in the CD vs WEL Dream11 today match prediction, expect WEL to win the game.
