  1. Fantasy Team with Possible C/VC Options:

Wicket-keeper- Alex Carey, Sam Billings

Batsmen- Alex Hales, Usman Khawaja, Philip Salt

All-Rounders- Travis Head, Michael Neser, Ben Cuttting

Bowlers- Peter Siddle, Tanveer Sangha

Options- For the last spot Danny Briggs/ Brendon Doggett/ Nathan McAndrew – we can pick any one. We can also try Ferguson in place of any Thunder batsmen or Billings.

C/VC Options- Carey, Khawaja, Cutting, Hales, Billings, Siddle are good C/VC options.

  1. Fantasy Talk-
  • Because of the unavailability of Daniel Sams, Ben Cutting’s fantasy value has increased. He is bowling some overs & is handy hitter lower down the order.
  • Khawaja’s head to head stats are very good but he has not fired extraordinarily in this BBL. You can drop him in some of your teams. Hales is the most consistent scorer of the Thunder team. However do try dropping him in some of your GL teams.
  • Watch out for which bowling combination the Thunder comes plays in this game as some of the bench players have more than decent head to head record like Arjun Nair & Chris Tremain.

Sam Billings can be your punt pick as captain/vice-captain of your team. But it is not quite sure when he will perform. He performs when nobody expects him too.
