REN vs SCO, Match 4: Top Captain and Vice-captain choices
Scenario: If Melbourne Renegades field First
Will Sutherland (REN)
The all-rounder is a fantastic smacker of the cricket ball. He has the ability to use the long handle effectively, scoring a half-century in the first game of the Renegades in BBL 13. Sutherland injected hopes of triumph in their last game against the Sydney Sixers in a chase of 176 runs target. He can also be useful with some overs of seam bowling.
Josh Inglis (SCO)
The wicketkeeper-batter is fresh off from the World Cup in India. He scored a fifty in the mega-event and followed it with a ton against India in the five match T20I series. He is a dynamic batter and generally bat within the top four in the batting order.
Scenario: If Perth Scorchers field First
Mitch Marsh (SCO)
'The Bison' is likely to be available for this forthcoming game. He showed his batting prowess in the last few years and is a force to reckon with at the top of the order. He can score quick runs against the hard new ball in a chase and set the tone. Also, Marsh can roll his arm with some overs of seam-up, if needed.
Kane Richardson (REN)
The witty pacer could be key with the ball for the Gades with respect to the conditions of the venue. The pitch tends to slow down with time and Richardson could be the one extracting the juice out of it. He has an array of change-ups in his armoury that can help to outfox the opposition batters.
REN vs SCO, Match 4- Big Risk, Big Return Choices
Jake Fraser-McGurk (REN)
The elegant batter scored a quick 48 in the last game against the Sydney Sixers. He is an attacking option with the willow and loves to score in boundaries. A batter like him could be risky, given the selection of shots with respect to the situation of the game. But if it's his day, Fraser-McGurk could shine bright.
Lance Morris (SCO)
Regarded as the 'wild thing', Lance Morris could be a useful option with the ball for the Scorchers. He possesses sheer pace and can rush the opposition batter with bounce. The conditions in Geelong could assist the type of Morris and it won't be a bad option to keep him in the fantasy team.
