– Chris Lynn and Alex Hales looks safest C/VC choices considering their opening batting and good numbers at venue and H2H matches.
– Can take Billings or Pierson at the place of Ben Duckett as both were amongst the top run-scorers of the last season.
– Taking punt on Ben Cutting who’s expected to bat at middle order and bowl a couple of overs too.
– Expecting atleast 25-30 points from Chris Green as he has taken wickets consistently at venue and H2H matches.

– Taking punt on Daniel Sams and Wildermuth as C/VC since they’re expected to bat at middle order and bowl full four overs too.
– Jimmy Pierson can be a decent punt especially if a couple of top order batters depart early.
