10. Nathan McAndrew
11. Henry Thornton
– Matthew Short and Sams looks safest C/VC choices considering their All-rounder roles.
– Can take Jason Sangha at the place of Alex Hales as he doesn’t have satisfactory numbers at this venue.
– Taking punt on Travis Head who’s expected to bat at one down and bowl part time overs.
– Gurinder Sandhu and McAndrew are must picks considering their death over bowling and good numbers at venue and H2H matches.
– Henry Thornton can give some decent fantasy points considering his death over bowling.

– Usman Khawaja looks another safe VC choice considering his current lethal form with bat and excellent numbers at venue and H2H matches.
– Dropped Alex Hales as he hasn’t done well at this venue in approx 10 innings so expecting him to depart early.
– Jason Sangha is due for a good knock from last 3-4 innings which might come in this match.
– Jonathan Wells will be a crucial pick if a couple of top order batters somehow doesn’t do well.
– Take anyone from Matt Renshaw or Travis Head as both have done decent at venue and H2H matches.
– Harry Conway can be another good pick at the place of Henry Thornton especially while bowling in second innings.
