9. Mohammad Shami
10. Lungi Ngidi/Mustafizur Rahman
11. Shardul Thakur
– Hardik Pandya looks safest captain choice considering his two down batting and full four overs with the bowl.
– Expecting a top knock from Pant after getting out early during the last match which makes him a good VC choice.
– Mandeep Singh can be picked at the place of Lalit Yadav especially while chasing.
– Shardul Thakur and Axar Patel are must picks considering their handy batting at down the order and full overs with bowl.
– Take anyone from Lungi Ngidi or Mustafizur Rahman whoever gets included in XIs of this match.

10. Lungi Ngidi
11. Shardul Thakur
– Axar Patel might be another good VC choice as he can come handy with bat at middle order and bowling full four overs.
– Backing up Lockie Ferguson at the place of Shami who might not get more than a wicket in two consecutive innings.
– Taking punt on Rovman Powell as he can score some quick runs if a couple of top order batters doesn’t do well.
– Matthew Wade or Vijay Shankar can be picked at the place of David Miller especially while chasing.
– Can go with Kuldeep Yadav at the place of Lungi Ngidi as he had shown good form with bowl during the last match.
