Analysis
There will be quite a few wicketkeepers on display but going by the present form, Sam Billings should be the preferred choice in your side considering he has looked in impressive touch in the tournament so far. Ben Duckett, who usually bats at No. 3 for Brisbane, could also prove to be a game-changing pick.
Among the batsmen, selecting Alex Hales and Chris Lynn should be a no-brainer as the two players have the ability to play big knocks on their day and the conditions in Brisbane might suit their style of play as they love pace and bounce. There are two in-form batsman in both sides, Sam Heazlett and Alex Ross, who are coming to this contest on the back of playing a brilliant innings each in their respective last matches.
James Bazley took a 3-fer in the last match and is one of the all-rounders who should be a part of your fantasy side, alongside Daniel Sams and Ben Cutting. Among the bowlers, spinners Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Tanveer Sangha have looked impressive and can get some crucial points in this match. Nathan McAndrew and Xavier Bartlett should be the picks among pacers.
