- Kane Williamson
- Martin Guptill
- Steven Smith
- Jimmy Neesham

– Dropped Aaron Finch as he has been taken by Ish Sodhi three times under 37 balls giving just 45 runs.
– Steven Smith will be a crucial pick especially if any of the Australian opener depart early.
– Jimmy Neesham can give decent fantasy points with the help of bat and ball.
– Going with Mitchell Marsh at the place of a Australian bowler since he’s batting at 1-2 down and bowling part time.

– Going heavy on New Zealand as they’re a bit favourites to win this encounter.
– Ish Sodhi looks an open captain choice in GL as he has troubled almost every Australian batter.
– Can go with anyone from Trent Boult, Kane Williamson or Martin Guptill as VC.
– Take anyone from Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis or Matthew Wade as anyone from them might come handy with the bat if top order doesn’t do well.
– Expecting atleast a couple of wickets from Mitchell Santner considering his strike rate of just 17 in H2H matches.
– Pat Cummins might be another decent pick as he can come handy with the bat and bowling in death overs.
