MID vs HAM Risky Captaincy Choices:

Mason Crane does find ways to pick up wickets at a decent rate. However, his wicket tally isn’t something for which he should be made the captain. 

Steven Finn is a good bowler and can take wickets for fun. However, making him the captain can be a mistake, considering how can be inconsistent at times. 

Player you should avoid:

Ethan Bamber has played two matches in this tournament but hasn’t picked up a single wicket so far. It should also be noted he is inexperienced as he has played only three official T20 in his life so far.
