– Marnus Labuschagne will be the safest captain pick considering his om and down batting & 2-3 overs with the bowl.
– Chris Lynn has mustered runs at an average of 51 in more than 10 H2H matches which makes him good VC pick.
– Dropped Inglis as he doesn’t have good H2H numbers & also leaves 0.5 credits.
– Dropping Jason Roy too as he’s failing to score runs from the last three head to head matches.
– Mitchell Marsh might be a good punt if 1-2 top order batters fails early considering his average of 71 with the bat in 8 H2H matches.
– Combos of Jhye + Tye and Steketee + Swepson are must have considering their consistency in this season & good H2H numbers.

10. Mitchell Swepson
11. Mark Stekeete
– Colin Munro might be another good VC pick as he has scored runs at an average of 38 in the last three H2H matches.
– Took both Roy & Inglis as they might look to makeup for their bad H2H and numbers by scoring good runs in this big game.
– Dropped Livingstone as he doesn’t have much impressive numbers in H2H like Mitchell Marsh.
– Lewis Gregory might be a good punt as he’s batting at 4-5 down & bowling a couple of overs too.
