- Tom Bruce (Price 9.5) – Bruce is the 5th highest run-scorer of the league and coming at number 4, he would be a great pick.
- Neil Broom (Price 10):- Broom is the second highest run-scorer of the league and as an opener, he would be the sure sort pick.
- Hamish Rutherford (Price 9.5):- Rutherford is an experienced campaigner and as an opener, he is a very good pick. He doesn’t throw his wicket away and also is a reliable option.
- Nick Kelly (Price 8.5):- Kelly is an aggressive player who can hit the ball quite hard and can make maximum use of minimum deliveries
- Josh Finnie (Price 8.5):- Finnie is another great middle order batsman who can play with a decent strike-rate.
NOTE:- Pick any one between Josh Finnie and Nick Kelly
[Christian Leopard is also a very decent batsman but is not looking in good touch lately so, can be avoided]

George Worker (Price 10.5) is a pretty decent batsman and 6th highest run-scorer of the league. He comes to open the innings and is a pretty solid player with bat.
Michael Rippon (Price 10) is a regular 4 overs bowler and is quite handy with the bat too.
Noema Barnett (Price 8.5) is the second-highest wicket-taker of the tournament and is also a pretty decent middle-order batsman.
[Anaru Kitchen is left out because he has not been in great form with bat and also doesn’t bowl his quota of 4 overs]

[Seth Rance and Jacob Duffy are also quite decent bowling options but the recent form of Michael Rae and Blar Tickner, gives them the nod.]
