10. Craig Young
11. Joshua Little
– Going heavy on Ireland as they’re looking favourites to win this encounter.
– David Weise looks safest captain choice considering his three down batting and full overs with the bowl.
– Mark Adair can be a decent VC choice especially while bowling first.
– JJ Smit and Frylinck are must picks considering their All-rounder roles.

5. David Weise
6. JJ Smit(VC)
7. Curtis Campher(C)
8. Simi Singh

10. Mark Adair
11. Ruben Trumpelmann
– Curtis Campher looks another safe captain choice considering his three down batting and full overs with the bowl.
– Taking punt on Smit as VC since he’s batting at middle order and bowling full four overs for Namibia.
– Dropped Joshua Little as he might not take 3fer or 4fer in two consecutive matches.
– Ruben Trumpelmann can be a decent credit saver pick especially if Namibia bowls first.
– Gareth Delany has looked in decent touch during the last two matches which makes him a good pick.
– Going with Simi Singh at the place of Joshua Little as he’s due to deliver his best with both bat and ball which might come in this big match.

11. Ruben Trumpelmann(C)
– Going heavy on Namibia in GL as they might go with all the guns blazing to win this encounter.
– Ruben Trumpelmann looks an open captain choice in GL especially while bowling first.
– Craig Williams might be a decent VC choice considering his recent good form in T20s.
– Going with all-rounders of Ireland who can give decent fantasy points even if the team fails to deliver their best.
– Can take Merwe Erasmus at the place of Stephen Baard especially if Namibia bowls first.
– Must try Simi Singh and JJ Smit as C/VC in atleast a couple of grand league combinations.
