Expert Advice:

With both Chris Lynn and Shane Watson costing 11 credits, we might not get to pick more players of 9.5 and more credits. However, risk can be taken by dropping Watson who has often seen troubling by shorter stuff from Mitchell McClenaghan. At Abu Dhabi, it won’t be any easy for Watson to getaway.
