10. Maitlan Brown
11. Belinda Vakarewa
– Ellyse Perry and Carey looks safest C/VC choices considering their 2-3 down batting and full overs with the bowl.
– Dropped Alyssa Healy as she might not go big in two consecutive matches.
– Expecting Shafali Verma to score atleast decent 25-30 runs especially while batting first during the initial PPs.
– Maitlan Brown can be a decent credit saver pick especially while bowling first.
– Tayla Vlaeminck might get a couple of wickets as she did well during the last game but unfortunately went wicketless.

10. Belinda Vakarewa
11. Radha Yadav
– Going heavy on Sydney Sixers as they’re looking strong enough to win this encounter easily.
– Shafali Verma looks worth risk taking captain choice especially while batting first.
– Taking punt on Maitlan Brown as VC since she’s expected to bowl in death overs for Sydney Sixers.
– Belinda Vakarewa will be a must pick as she has good numbers in H2H innings.
– Can take Stella Campbell at the place of Radha Yadav if Sydney Sixers opts to bowl first.

10. Belinda Vakarewa(C)
11. Maitlan Brown
– Going heavy on Hobart Hurricanes in GL as they might put up a good show against one of the strongest opponent.
– Belinda Vakarewa looks an open captain choice as she has been a consistent wicket taker in WBBL since last couple of seasons.
– Nicole Bolton can score decent runs at three down if top order doesn’t do well and expected to bowl 2-3 overs too.
– Richa Ghosh might be a good GL pick as she did well recently with the bat especially in shorter format.
– Mignon Du Preez and Tayla Vlaeminck are other C/VC choices who can tried in a couple of grand league combinations.
