– Chris Lynn might be a good captain choice considering his batting averages of above 45 at venue and H2H matches.
– Taking punt on Wildermuth as VC since he’s batting at three down and bowling full four overs.
– Take anyone from Ashton Turner or Laurie Evans as both are hit or miss type of batters.
– Cameron Bancroft might be a decent punt considering his good numbers at venue and H2H matches.
– Andrew Tye and Behrendorff are must picks as they haven’t went wicketless at venue and H2H matches.
– Can take Liam Guthrie or Matthew Kuhnemann at the place of Mujeeb especially if Brisbane gets to bowl first.

– Going heavy on Perth Scorchers as they’re the favourites to win this match.
– Colin Munro might be another good captain considering his batting averages of 50 & 38 at venue and H2H innings respectively.
– Can go with anyone from Tye or Jason Behrendorff as VC considering their good numbers against the opponent.
– Xavier Bartlett and James Bazley can come handy with the bat and bowling 3-4 overs too.
– Taking punt on Peter Hatzoglou who did extremely well during the last season of BBL.
