– Going heavy on Hobart Hurricanes as they’re the favourites to win this match.
– D’Arcy Short and McDermott looks safest C/VC choices considering their current lethal form with bat and good numbers at venue and H2H innings.
– Taking punt on Sam Harper who has done pretty well in H2H matches and can give decent fantasy points with the help of gloves too.
– Can take Peter Handscomb at the place of Mackenzie Harvey especially if Hobart gets to bat first.
– Kane Richardson will be a must pick considering his bowling strike rate below 20 at venue and H2H matches.
