– Marcus Stoinis looks safest captain pick as he will open the innings & bowl 2-3 overs too. He’s having good record against the opponent with both bat and ball.
– Glenn Maxwell though doesn’t have very good record against BH but he was very good during the recently concluded ODI and T20I series against India so might prove to be a good VC pick.
– Ben Laughlin have been phenomenal with the bowl against opponent as he’s having 21 wickets at his name in just 12 matches.
– Adam Zampa have taken at least a wicket in H2H matches so might give as less as 25 points in D11.
– Chris Lynn has scored runs at an average of 36 in 9 H2H matches which makes him must pick.
– Max Bryant can be a good punt as he has scored 101 runs at an average of 50 in 3 H2H matches.
