11. Riley Meredith
– Shaun Marsh looks safest captain pick considering his average of 48 with bat in 7 head to head matches.
– D’Arcy Short has been decent in H2H matches with an average of 28 with bat so might prove to be good VC pick.
– Ben Mcdermott is a must pick as he has smashed a century & two half centuries against the opponent in the last 6 H2H matches.
– Beau Webster can be a good punt especially while batting first as he’s batting at middle order & bowling 2-3 overs too.
– Nathan Ellis can be another good pick as he has taken 4 wickets in 2 H2H matches at an average of just 13 so might take 1-2 Wkts in this game too.
– Didn’t took Josh Lalor as he doesn’t have very good numbers against the opponent.
Small League Combination 2 –
1. Peter Handscomb
2. Shaun Marsh(VC)
3. Rilee Rossouw
4. Tim David
5. Ben Mcdermott
6. D’Arcy Short
7. Mohammad Nabi(C)
8. Kane Richardson
9. Noor Ahmad
10. Nathan Ellis
11. Riley Meredith
– Mohammad Nabi can be a good captain pick considering his good numbers with both bat and ball in H2H matches. He’s expected to bat at two down & bowl 2-3 overs too.
– Noor Ahmad can be another good punt especially in second innings as he has done well in the APL recently.
– Rilee Rossouw is failing from last two matches so might look to makeup for that in this game.
– Peter Handscomb has been decent in H2H matches with an average of 33.
Grand League Combination –

5. Ben Mcdermott(C)
6. Beau Webster
7. Mohammad Nabi(VC)
8. Keemo Paul
9. Noor Ahmad
10. Nathan Ellis
11. Peter Hatzoglou
– Ben Mcdermott & Nabi both might be good C VC picks in GL considering their H2H numbers.
– Keemo Paul might score some quick runs down the order & will bowl 2-3 overs too.
– Dropped D’Arcy Short as he has been a hit or miss pick from last 5-6 games.
