– Maxwell might be a good captain pick especially while batting first as he came back in form by scoring 70 off just 31 balls during the last match.
– Martin Guptill will be a good VC pick as he has looked in good touch during the last two matches.
– Finch also came back in form during the last game by scoring a half century which might have boosted his confidence to play another one.
– Mitchell Santner is available for selection & expected to play in this game. He can be a crucial pick at this pitch especially while bowling second.
– Expecting Boult & Southee to bowl well in this game as they went quite expensive during the last match.
– Expecting a good knock from Kane as he has performed in alternative matches during this series.

– Stoinis & Conway might be good C VC picks if 1-2 top order batters from respective teams departs early.
– Expecting at least a decent knock from Seifert as he’s failing to play one from the last three matches.
– Mitchell Marsh might be a good punt if top order of AUS collapses early.
– Dropped both Guptill & Finch as they might not score big in two consecutive matches.

– Expecting at least a decent knock from Wade as he’s failing to play one from the last couple of matches.
