11. Tanveer Sangha
– Going heavy on Sydney Sixers as they’re the favourites to win this encounter.
– Daniel Sams looks safest captain choice considering his middle order batting and full overs with the bowl.
– Sean Abbott might be a good VC choice especially while bowling in first innings.
– Taking punt on Daniel Hughes who has done pretty well at venue and H2H innings.
– Can take Matthew Gilkes or Alex Ross at the place of Mohammad Hasnain especially if he bowls in second innings.
– Didn’t took Jason Sangha as he has continuous failures at venue and H2H matches.
Small League Combination 2 –
1. Josh Philippe
2. Alex Hales(VC)
3. Daniel Hughes/Jordan Silk
4. Moises Henriques
5. Jason Sangha
6. Sean Abbott
7. Daniel Sams(C)
8. Mohammad Hasnain
9. Nathan McAndrew
10. Hayden Kerr
11. Ben Dwarshius
– Alex Hales might be a another good VC choice considering his excellent numbers at venue and H2H matches.
– Expecting Jason Sangha to score atleast decent runs to makeup for his bad numbers at venue & H2H matches.
– Take anyone from Daniel Hughes or Jordan Silk as both have done well at venue and H2H matches.
– Dropped Daniel Christian as he might not get to bowl in the presence of five full time bowlers.
– Nathan McAndrew can give decent fantasy points considering his death over bowling.
– Must try Ben Dwarshius as C/VC in 10-20-339 members league especially while bowling in second innings.

– Dropped Josh Philippe as he has averaged just 17 with bat in 7 H2H innings.
– Jordan Silk and Alex Ross might be decent GL picks especially if a couple of top order batters from respective teams depart early.
– Can take Jason Sangha at the place of Alex Hales as he might not go big in three consecutive innings.
– Jackson Bird can be picked at the place of Steve O’Keefe especially while bowling first.
– Nathan McAndrew and Daniel Hughes are other good C/VC choices for GL combination.
