Hot Picks For BPH vs LNS 18th Match Dream11 Team Today

Birmingham Phoenix

Liam Livingstone

Liam Livingstone is the biggest fantasy pick for Birmingham Phoenix. In four matches, he has scored 166 runs at an average of 55.33 and a strike rate of 155.14. He is the leading run scorer of the 2025 edition, making him a strong captaincy choice.

Benny Howell 

He has been effective with the ball, taking 5 wickets in four matches. His best figures are 2/25, and he has maintained a bowling average of 19.40. He can also add handy runs with the bat, making him a reliable all-rounder. 

Trent Boult 

Veteran Trent Boult has picked up three wickets in four games, with a best of 2/20. Although his economy (9.00) has been on the higher side, his new-ball swing makes him a dangerous option. If he finds rhythm, he can be a game-changer. 

London Spirit

David Warner

David Warner has been in solid touch with the London Spirit. In four matches, he has scored 156 runs at an average of 52.00 and a strike rate of 140.54. With two half-centuries, including a top score of 71, Warner is a dependable fantasy pick for the top order.

Jamie Smith 

Smith has played three games and scored 90 runs with a strike rate of 157.89. His quick acceleration and boundary-hitting talent make him a good Dream11 pick, especially as a differential option. 

Richard Gleeson 

Gleeson has been among the top wicket-takers, taking four scalps in as many matches. With the best figures of 2/36, he provides breakthroughs but has been a bit expensive at 9.77 runs per over. Still, his wicket-taking ability keeps him on the fantasy radar.
