– Shakib Al Hasan looks safest captain choice considering his one down batting and full overs with the bowl.
– Mitchell Marsh will be a good VC choice as he’s performing consistently either with both bat or ball from the last couple of series.
– Taking punt on Alex Carey as he might not go early in two consecutive matches.
– Can take Moises Henriques at the place of Josh Philippe especially if Australia bats second.
– Ashton Agar can give decent fantasy points as he’s batting at middle order and bowling full four overs.
– Mahedi Hasan might be another differential pick as he’s expected to bowl full overs and come handy with the bat at down the order.
– Dropped Nasum Ahmed as he might not stay amongst the wickets in two consecutive matches.
