– Going heavy on Perth Scorchers as they’re the favourites to win this encounter.
– Mitchell Marsh looks safest captain choice considering his current lethal form with the bat and part time bowling.

– Taking punt on Josh Inglis who has done extremely well in H2H innings and also due for a big knock in this season.
– Can take Zahir Khan at the place of Ashton Agar as he might not perform well in two consecutive innings with both bat and ball.
– Dropped Kurtis Patterson as he might not go big in two consecutive innings.
– Can go safe with Andrew Tye as VC considering his good numbers in H2H matches and current top form with bowl.
