– D’Arcy Short has mustered 427 runs at an average of 61 in 6 H2H matches which makes him best captain pick.
– Jake Weatherald has been a consistent performer against Hobart as he has scored runs at an average of 33 in 9 matches so he might prove to be a good VC pick.
– Jonathon Wells can be a good punt especially while batting first considering his H2H average of 35 in 6 matches.
– James Faulkner has taken 11 wickets at an average of 18 in the last 9 H2H matches.
– Wes Agar & Nathan Ellis both might prove to good punts as they have taken wickets at good economy rate in H2H matches.
– Didn’t took Rashid as he’s available in much credits and also doesn’t have good numbers against the opponent.

– Philip Salt has been decent in the T20 Blast this year and has done well especially while chasing so he can be a good VC punt doing so.
– Matthew Renshaw will be another good punt as he will bat at three down & might bowl 1-2 overs too.
– Rashid Khan though doesn’t have very good numbers against the opponent but he has done well bowling in second innings.

– Jake Weatherald can be a good captain pick in GL combo too considering his good numbers at the venue and in H2H matches too.
– Expecting at least two wickets from Scott Boland considering his good average with the bowl against the opponent.
– Ryan Gibson scored a 12-ball 34 in the recent practice game against the Sixers so he can be a good GL pick.
– Mac Wright had done well especially while batting first as he has scored 142 runs at an average of 71 in 3 matches while doing so.
