10. Tayla Vlaeminck
11. Erin Osborne
– Annabel Sutherland and Kim Garth looks safest C)VC choices considering their full time All-rounder roles.
– Mignon Du Preez might be a decent punt considering her experience and one down batting.
– Taking punt on Erin Osborne who has taken wickets at a strike rate of 22 in 09 H2H innings.
– Expecting Meg Lanning to score atleast decent runs as she’s due to play one since last 4-5 innings.
– Can go with Nicola Carey as VC since she has done pretty well with both bat and ball in H2H matches.

1. Rachel Priest
2. Meg Lanning
3. Elyse Villani
4. Naomi Stalenberg
5. Sasha Maloney

10. Tayla Vlaeminck
11. Erin Osborne
– Nicola Carey will be another safe VC choice considering her good numbers in H2H matches and All-rounder role for her team.
– Naomi Stalenberg might be a decent credit saver pick as she’s expected to bat at middle order and did fairly well in 10 H2H innings.
– Dropped Ruth Johnston as she might not go big in two consecutive matches.
– Sasha Maloney can be a decent punt who’s expected to bat at 3-4 down and bowl a couple of overs too.
– Must try Meg Lanning or Rachel Priest as C/VC in 10-20 members league.

– Sasha Maloney looks an open captain choice in GL considering her 3-4 down batting and some overs with the bowl.
– Expecting atleast a couple of wickets from Erin Osborne as she has done well in H2H matches.
– Richa Ghosh might be a decent GL pick especially if both the openers of Hobart depart early.
– Maia Bouchier will be a crucial pick if Elyse Villani doesn’t do well.
– Tess Flintoff and Tayla Vlaeminck are other good C/VC choices for grand league combinations.
