IR-W vs SC-W Risky Captaincy Choices:

Lorna Jack has scored 229 runs in her 19 T20I innings at an average of 15.26, with the highest score of 54*. It’s worth a risk in picking her as your fantasy team skipper.

Player you should avoid:

Since too much competition is there in the all-rounder’s slot, you can avoid picking Samantha Haggo as she is a little inexperienced at this level.
