Chris Lynn has had a terrific season of the Big Bash League. He is the highest run-getter of the tournament with 394 runs in 10 games. Lynn would be eyeing to play a few more match-winning knocks as we move to the business end of the tournament.
Marnus Labuschagne is back for the Heat. Given that Heat's batting has struggled in the tournament, Labuschagne can be a safe player to back. He is someone who can score big runs and play the anchor role for the team.
Matthew Short has been brilliant with the bat as well for Strikers. He is the second-leading run-scorer of the tournament with 379 runs in 10 games. He has been equally good with the ball as well.
Usman Khawaja is also a good pick from Heat. Khawaja has blown hot and cold in the tournament but he is one of the best batters in the team and given the performance of other batters, he is the best choice to back.
Nathan Coulter-Nile took three wickets for 17 runs in the last game against Melbourne Stars. Coulter-Nile is a quality bowling option to back owing to his ability to bowl wicket to wicket which is one of the best ways to pick wickets in this format of the game
