11. Ben Dwarshius
– Going heavy on Perth Scorchers as they’re the favourites to win this encounter.
– Not going with Marsh as captain since he isn’t expected to bowl in this match considering hamstring injury.
– Hayden Kerr looks safest captain choice as he’s expected to open the innings and bowl full four overs.
– Ashton Agar might be a good VC choice considering his ability to score quick runs at down the order and full overs with the bowl.
– Dropped Kurtis Patterson as he might not go big in two consecutive innings.
– Ashton Turner and Munro have done well at venue and H2H matches which makes them good picks.
– Can take Andrew Tye at the place of Jhye Richardson by replacing Ashton Turner with Justin Avendano.

1. Josh Inglis
2. Moises Henriques
3. Colin Munro(VC)

10. Ben Dwarshius
11. Jhye Richardson
– Dropped Mitchell Marsh as he might not be crucial without his bowling quota considering the injury.
– Taking punt on Daniel Christian as captain who’s expected to bat at middle order and bowl a couple of overs too.
– Expecting Colin Munro to come good with bat after getting out very early in last 3-4 innings.
– Can take Jason Behrendorff at the place of Jhye Richardson while bowling in second innings.
– Sean Abbott and Moises Henriques are other good C/VC choices for SL combinations.
– Try dropping Josh Inglis for Nick Bertus to manage credits as he might not go big in consecutive innings.

– Moises Henriques looks an open captain choice as he might come good with bat in this big final.
– Ashton Turner might not be a good VC choice especially if a couple of top order batters depart early.
– Try dropping Hayden Kerr in a couple of GL combinations especially while bowling in second innings.
– Take anyone from Jason Behrendorff or Andrew Tye especially while bowling in second innings.
