• Finn Allen – Finn Allen began his BBL campaign by scoring 55 runs against the Sydney Sixers, and he finished with 37 runs against the Hurricanes.
• Jhye Richardson –  Even though Jhye Richardson did not have a great start to the campaign regardless we are going to back him once again as he was one of the most consistent bowlers

Top Picks – Sydney Thunder

• David Warner – The pressure would be on David Warner if the Sydney Thunders look to improve their performance this season. Despite not playing much cricket, Warner remains one of the most lethal T20 batters.
• Daniel Sams –  Daniel Sams was the lone bright spot in the Sydney Thunders' disappointing season last year. With 12 wickets, he was his team's leading wicket-taker.
