9. Rashid Khan(C)
10. Wes Agar
11. Matthew Kelly
– Rashid Khan looks safest captain considering his consistency to take wickets and handy batting at down the order.
– Dropped Kurtis Patterson as he might not go big in two consecutive innings.
– Can take Ashton Turner at the place of Ashton Agar especially if Perth gets to bat first.
– Andrew Tye can be picked at the place of Matthew Kelly especially while bowling in first innings.
– Taking punt on Jason Behrendorff as he hasn’t went wicketless at venue and H2H matches.
– Take anyone from Daniel Worrall or Wes Agar while Garton can be preferred over both especially if Adelaide gets to bat in first innings.
– Colin Munro can be tried as a differential pick in risky SL combinations considering his current hit or miss form.

1. Cameron Bancroft
2. Harry Nielsen
3. Jonathan Wells
4. Ashton Turner/Laurie Evans
5. Ashton Agar
6. Peter Siddle(C)
7. Rashid Khan
8. Andrew Tye
9. Jason Behrendorff(VC)
10. Jake Weatherald
11. Wes Agar/ George Garton
– Peter Siddle and Jason Behrendorff might be good C/VC choices considering their death over bowling.
– Dropped Matthew Kelly as he might not get more than a wicket in two consecutive innings.
– Didn’t took Matthew Short as he might not go big in two consecutive innings especially while chasing.
– Harry Nielsen can give decent fantasy points with the help of bat and gloves.
– Can take George Garton at the place of Wes Agar since he can come handy with bat and bowling atleast 2-3 overs.
– Colin Munro can be picked at the place of Cameron Bancroft especially while batting first.

– Jake Weatherald might be a good captain choice considering his batting averages of 27 & 57 at venue and H2H innings respectively.
– George Garton might be a decent VC choice as he can come handy with the bat and bowling full four overs.
– Take anyone from Harry Nielsen or Cameron Bancroft as both are batting at top of the order and handling wk duties.
– Expecting Colin Munro to play atleast a decent knock to make-up for his numbers against the opponent.
– Ashton Turner will be a crucial pick especially if a couple of top order batters depart early.
