8. Peter Siddle
9. Rashid Khan(VC)
10. Jack Wildermuth
11. Mark Steketee
– Jake Weatherald looks safest captain pick in SL considering his good H2H numbers & decent form this season.
– Rashid Khan has been in supreme touch in H2H with 8 wickets in 5 matches at an average of just 14 so he might prove to be good VC pick.
– Philip Salt can be a good punt as he’s due to play a big knock this season & also smashed a half century in the last H2H match.
– Tom Cooper can be another good pick especially while batting first as he has been good in H2H matches.
– Mark Steketee has taken wickets at an average 22 in H2H matches so might give atleast 25 points in D11.

5. Chris Lynn(C)
6. Matt Renshaw(VC)
7. Daniel Lawrence

9. Rashid Khan
10. Mark Steketee
11. Ben Laughlin
– Matt Renshaw can be a good punt VC as he has much experience of playing cricket for Brisbane so might get an edge over them.
– Jonathan Wells can be another good punt as he has been decent in H2H matches.
– Ben Laughlin had done well last season but failed to take wickets in the last two matches this season so might makeup for that in this game.
Grand League Combination –
1. Alex Carey
2. Jimmy Pierson

5. Sam Heazlett
6. Tom Cooper
7. Matt Renshaw

10. Rashid Khan(C)
11. Mark Steketee(VC)
– Expecting couple of wickets from both Rashid & Mark Steketee as they have done well in H2H matches.
– Jimmy Pierson can be a good GL pick if top order of Brisbane fails early.
– Sam Heazlett got good start in both the last matches but failed to convert them into big knocks so that might come in this game.
