5. Mohammad Nabi(C)
6. Matthew Short
7. Will Sutherland
8. Peter Siddle
9. Kane Richardson
10. George Garton
11. Rashid Khan(VC)
– Mohammad Nabi looks safest captain choice considering his middle order batting and 2-3 overs with the bowl.
– Rashid Khan might be a good VC choice considering his consistency to take wickets and numbers in H2H innings.
– Jonathan Wells and Jake Weatherald are must picks as they have averaged above 30 in more than 5 H2H innings.
– Can take Mackenzie Harvey or Jake Fraser-McGurk at the place of Aaron Finch.
– Will Sutherland might be a decent punt as he’s expected to bat at 4-5 down and bowl a couple of overs too.
– Can take Daniel Worrall at the place of Peter Siddle especially if Adelaide gets to bowl first.
– George Garton can give decent fantasy points as he’s expected to bat at middle 3-4 down and bowl a couple of overs too.

1. Sam Harper
2. Aaron Finch
3. Jonathan Wells
4. Jake Weatherald
5. Mohammad Nabi
6. Matthew Short
7. Peter Siddle/Daniel Worrall
8. Rashid Khan(VC)
9. George Garton
10. Kane Richardson(C)
11. James Pattinson
– Taking punt on Kane Richardson as captain especially while bowling first considering his good numbers at venue and H2H matches.
– Can take Cameron Boyce or Zahir Khan at the place of Pattinson especially if Renegades bowls in second innings.
– Try dropping Aaron Finch in risky small league combination as he hasn’t done well against the opponent.
– Matthew Short looks another good C/VC choice for small league combinations.

11. George Garton(C)
– Going heavy on Adelaide strikers as they’re the favourites to win this encounter.
– George Garton might be a good captain choice considering his 3-4 down batting and a couple of overs with the bowl.
– Going with Jake Weatherald as VC since he has done well in H2H matches and expected to open the innings.
– Can take Wes Agar at the place of Daniel Worrall especially while bowling in second innings.
