In the last 4 innings, he has scored 161 runs, averaging 40 runs per game as well and he can give some additional points with his wicket-keeping skills so he will be our top choice for this match.

Wes Agar, the right-arm pacer, is a key bowler for his team and has taken 11 wickets in 6 matches, averaging 2 wickets per match. He is quite economical with 17 runs per match and becomes a must pick option for this match.

Josh Phillippe, the wicket-keeper opener, has scored 172 runs in 5 innings at an average of 34. He can go big on his day, scoring a lot of runs which we have also witnessed in the past. As with any other wicket-keeper, he can give extra points with his wicket-keeping skills as well.
