10. Ed Nuttall/Matt Henry
11. Will Williams
– Scott Kuggeleijn might be a good captain choice considering his numbers at venue and H2H innings especially while bowling first.
– Tim Seifert looked in good touch during the last match and averaged above 50 in 7 innings at this venue which makes him a decent VC choice.
– Taking punt on Henry Nicholls who has averaged 38 with the bat in 5 H2H innings.
– Expecting atleast a decent knock from Jeet Raval who’s due to play one from the last three innings.
– Leo Carter can be picked at the place Chad Bowes considering his batting average of above 30 in 9 H2H innings.
– Take anyone from Ed Nuttall or Matt Henry as they might not get more than a wicket in two consecutive innings.
– Will Williams can be another decent pick as he’s expected to bowl atleast 2-3 overs.

10. Scott Kuggeleijn
11. Ed Nuttall
– Trent Boult might be another good captain choice especially while bowling in first innings.
– Cole McConchie will be safest VC choice considering his two down batting and some overs with the bowl.
– Dropped Chad Bowes to take Leo Carter as he might not go big in two consecutive innings.
