– Erin Burns and Dane Van Niekerk looks safest C/VC choices considering their full time role as all-rounder.
– Dropped Evelyn Jones as she might not go big in two consecutive matches.
– Taking punt on Shafali Verma as she’s due to play a top knock from the last 4-5 matches.

– Taking punt on Shafali Verma as VC as she might finish off the tournament by playing a top knock.
– Katie Mack can give decent fantasy points especially while batting first as she’s batting at two down.
– Mady Villiers looks a good punt at the place of Farrant as she’s getting promoted to bat up and bowling full 20 balls.
