– Daniel Sams looks safest captain choice considering his middle order batting and full overs with the bowl.

– Taking punt on Alex Ross at the place of Jason Sangha as he has averaged above 60 with bat in last 4 H2H innings.
– Gurinder Sandhu and Sangha haven’t went wicketless in H2H matches which makes them good picks.
– Riley Meredith and Rogers can give enough fantasy points considering their death over bowling.

– Dropped both Alex Hales and Ben McDermott as they might not score big in consecutive matches.
– Alex Ross looks an open captain choice considering his batting average of above 60 in last 4 H2H innings.
– Peter Handscomb will be a crucial pick especially if both the openers somehow doesn’t do well.
– Ben Cutting might be a decent GL pick as he can come good with bat if a couple of top order batters depart early and contribute with the bowl also.
– Mitchell Owen can give decent fantasy points with the help of his four overs with the bowl and hitting ability at down the order.
– Expecting atleast a couple of wickets from Sandhu considering his bowling strike rate of just 17 in 7 H2H matches.
– Olivier Davies and Caleb Jewell might prove to be good GL picks.
