– Alex Carey & Josh Philippe looks safest C VC picks as they have scored at an average of 37 & 62 in H2H matches.
– Jonathan Wells & Daniel both can be good punts considering their decent H2H numbers.
– Dropped James Vince as he has failed continuously in the last four matches against the opponent.

– Ben Dwarshius & Steve O’Keefe both are good picks as they have taken 1 or 2 wickets at least at an average of 14 in 7 H2H matches.
– Peter Siddle might fail in this game as he doesn’t have very good numbers against the opponent still took him due to the selection % & bowling in death overs.
