9. Zahir Khan
10. Saqib Mahmood
11. Nathan McAndrew/Sandhu
– Daniel Sams looks safest captain choice considering his middle order batting and full four overs with the bowl.
– Kane Richardson might be a good VC choice especially while bowling in first innings.
– Taking punt on Alex Hales who’s due to play a top knock from the last 2-3 innings.
– Will Sutherland might give decent fantasy points as he’s expected to bat at 3-4 down and bowling atleast a couple of overs.
– Can take Aaron Finch at the place of Shaun Marsh by replacing Zahir Khan with Zak Evans.
– Take anyone from Gurinder Sandhu or Nathan McAndrew as they have done pretty well at venue and H2H matches.

– Taking risk on Hales and Finch as VC considering their experience and good numbers in H2H innings.
– Dropped Shaun Marsh as he might not go big in two consecutive innings.
– Zak Evans might be a decent credit saver pick especially while bowling in first innings.
– Jason Sangha and Maddinson might be good picks considering their top order batting and part time bowling.
– Mohammad Hasnain can be picked at the place of Nathan McAndrew especially while bowling first.
– Must try death over pacers of both the teams as C/VC in 10-20-339 members league.
