– Matthew Short looks safest captain choice considering his opening batting order and full overs with the bowl.
– Rashid might be a good VC considering his consistency to take wickets and numbers at venue and H2H innings.
– Take anyone from Sam Heazlett or Jake Weatherald as both are struggling to play atleast a decent knock.
– Mark Steketee and Xavier Bartlett are must picks considering their good numbers at venue & H2H matches and handy batting at down the order.
– Harry Conway might give decent 25-30 points considering his death over bowling with Siddle.
– Can take any middle order batter from either of the team at the place of Mujeeb who might be crucial if top order doesn’t do well.
