Hot Picks
Moises Henriques
Henriques, who recently had a good limited-overs series against India, has carried on that form into the BBL, scoring 56 (35), 43 (25) and 38 (29) in his last three innings. He is one of the top ten run-scorers in BBL history with 1882 runs in 86 games. If he is fit enough to bowl, he can get you additional points in that department, too.

Josh Inglis
Inglis has been nothing sort of a revelation for the Scorchers since the last edition. He is on track for a consecutive 400-plus run season, having scored 391 runs in 15 innings at an average of 35.54 and a strike rate of 142.18 in the ongoing edition. He has been a terrific player of spin, scoring at an average of 40.66 in this season.

Ben Dwarshuis
Although he has missed a number of games for the Sixers this season, he is the fourth-leading wicket taker in this season with 21 strikes in 12 games and these are his best returns from a single edition of the tournament. He is also the most prolific left-arm bowler in this edition.
