– Martin Guptill and David Warner looks safest C/VC choices considering their current good forms and numbers at venue and H2H matches.
– Can take anyone from Tim Seifert or Matthew Wade as both are available in same credits.
– Trent Boult and Mitchell Starc are must picks considering their death over bowling.
– Adam Zampa and Ish Sodhi have good numbers at venue and H2H matches which makes them decent picks.

– Trent Boult might be another good captain choice especially while bowling first.
– Expecting Glenn Maxwell to finally go big in this match especially while batting first.
– Dropped Aaron Finch as he has been taken by Ish Sodhi three times under 37 balls giving just 45 runs.
– Steven Smith will be a crucial pick especially if any of the Australian opener depart early.
– Jimmy Neesham can give decent fantasy points with the help of bat and ball.
– Going with Mitchell Marsh at the place of a Australian bowler since he’s batting at 1-2 down and bowling part time.
– Must try death over bowlers of first innings as C/VC in 10-20 members league.

10. Ish Sodhi(C)
11. Mitchell Starc/Pat Cummins
– Going heavy on New Zealand as they’re a bit favourites to win this encounter.
– Ish Sodhi looks an open captain choice in GL as he has troubled almost every Australian batter.
– Can go with anyone from Trent Boult, Kane Williamson or Martin Guptill as VC.
– Take anyone from Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis or Matthew Wade as anyone from them might come handy with the bat if top order doesn’t do well.
– Expecting atleast a couple of wickets from Mitchell Santner considering his strike rate of just 17 in H2H matches.
– Pat Cummins might be another decent pick as he can come handy with the bat and bowling in death overs.
