Player Picks
Steve Smith SIX | BAT
He finished as the second-highest run-scorer for the Sixers last season despite featuring in just five matches. Smith scored 346 runs at an average of 86.50 and a strike rate of 174.74. He hit two centuries and a half-century during his short stint last season.
Josh Philippe SIX | WK
He had a quiet last season and managed just 266 runs in 15 innings at a strike rate of 117.69. He scored less than 300 runs for the first time in the last five years. Philippe has enjoyed a decent run in the domestic circuit recently and hence, he can be a good captaincy pick.
