10. Adam Zampa
11. Lahiru Kumara
– Going heavy on Australia as they’re the favourites to win this encounter.
– Glenn Maxwell looks safest captain choice considering his current good form and good numbers at venue & H2H matches.
– Wanindu Hasaranga looks a decent VC choice as he’s batting at 3-4 down and bowling full four overs.
– Taking punt on David Warner who has phenomenal numbers at venue and H2H matches. He might look to get his form by going big in this match.
– Going with the experience of Avishka Fernando who can score atleast decent runs against the strong bowling lineup of Australia.
– Can take Aaron Finch at the place of Steven Smith especially if Australia bats second.
– Pat Cummins and Adam Zampa might be decent punts as they have good numbers against the opponent.
Small League Combination 2 –
1. Kusal Perera
2. David Warner(VC)

5. Mitchell Marsh
6. Glenn Maxwell
7. Dasun Shanaka
8. Wanindu Hasaranga
9. Josh Hazlewood(C)
10. Adam Zampa
11. Pat Cummins
– Josh Hazlewood might be another good captain choice especially while bowling first.
– Marsh might be a decent punt as Starc is expected to miss out this game due to an injury so he will get to bowl a couple of overs and batting at one down.
– Expecting a good knock from David Warner considering his phenomenal numbers at venue and H2H innings.
– Dasun Shanaka might be another decent pick as he’s batting at 4-5 down and bowling a couple of overs too.
– Must try Pat Cummins and Adam Zampa as C/VCs in 10-20 members league especially while bowling first.
