10. Sarah Coyte
11. Amanda Wellington
– Tahila McGrath looks safest captain choice considering her current good form with both bat and ball.
– Taking punt on Dane Van Niekerk as VC since she’s opening up the innings and bowling full four overs.
– Can take anyone from Bridget Patterson or Katie Mack as both are expected to bat in top six.
– Expecting Mignon Du Preez to score atleast decent runs in this match after getting failed in last couple of innings.
– Can take Tayla Vlaeminck at the place of Molly Strano especially if Hobart Hurricanes bowls first.
– Sarah Coyte and Amanda Wellington are must picks considering their current good forms and good numbers at H2H innings.

8. Tayla Vlaeminck
9. Molly Strano
10. Amanda Wellington
11. Sarah Coyte
– Dropped Rachel Priest to take Richa Ghosh as she might not go big in two consecutive matches.
– Nicola Carey can be another good VC choice considering her three down batting order and full overs with the bowl.
– Katie Mack might be a decent punt as she’s due to score runs in this tournament.
– Expecting atleast a couple of wickets from Tayla Vlaeminck especially while bowling first.
– Dropped Ruth Johnston also as she might not take 2fer or 3fer in two consecutive matches.
