Key Players:
Analysis: Sidney Thunder has had a phenomenal start to the tournament and will look forward to sustaining their momentum in ongoing BBL. The likes of Alex Hales and Sam Billings make a strong top order and are the best batting picks, with the former being a dependable captain choice. Additionally, all-rounder Daniel Sams’ 3-wicket-haul in the last game made him the X-factor of the match, which makes him a smart fantasy pick for the upcoming contest. From the bowling department, Tanveer Sangha, Nathan McAndrew and Gurinder Sandhu are the preferred picks for fantasy.
On the other hand, the Glenn Maxwell-led side will aim to make a comeback from the embarrassing defeat in the tournament opener. Needless to say, a lot will depend on the skipper, which makes Glenn Maxwell a must-have in one’s fantasy team. Additionally, Hilton Cartwright and Adam Zampa can also fetch some fantasy points from their respective departments.
