It’s the 2021 County Championship in England and while we have plenty of matches scheduled in each round, not all of them are up on fantasy cricket websites. The only one that has made its way to Dream11 is a Group A game between the two teams at the top of the points table right now, with 1 win and 1 draw each in their 2 respective games this season so far.
One of the teams we’re talking about is Warwickshire and they are at the top of the points table with a higher NRR while they’re up against Essex with the latter expected to be slight favourites in this long format game, having a good recent record against Warwickshire in recent years.

Numbers
- Head to head in last 5 games, Essex leads 3-1.
- Will Rhodes – 8 wickets in 2 games so far.
- Hanuma Vihari 3 scores in this season so far – 0, 0, 8.
Warwickshire
One of my first picks today is the Warwickshire captain Will Rhodes who has been brilliant with the ball and is their leading wicket-taker, but he’s also their opening batsman which means he could even be the captain or vice-captain of your WAS vs ESS fantasy team. One of the few Indians to be cleared to play County Cricket, Hanuma Vihari bats at #3 and should be considered even though he’s got no scores yet.
Another very good middle order batsman who got twin fifties in the last game is Sam Hain and he should also be picked in your WAS vs ESS Dream11 team, someone who comes with plenty of experience as well. If you want an all-round option, there’s always Tim Bresnan who is likely to contribute in both departments and the best part is that he’s got plenty of international experience as well.
Essex
Leading the side is Tom Westley who was a real hero in their opening game which ended as a draw because he scored a massive 213 in the 1st innings of that game, and we can expect some more runs from them in the future too. Another good pick who can even be picked as your captain or vice-captain is Dan Lawrence who played 4 Tests against India recently and he comes on to bowl sometimes as well.

With only 45 runs in 4 innings in the 2021 County Championship, most people may shy away from picking Alastair Cook but he’s a legend of England and Essex cricket and it’s very likely he gets a big score here too. Ryan ten Doeschate doesn’t bowl much these days but he’s another good option for your My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE) WAS vs ESS fantasy team while Simon Harmer can be a bowling option.
