Right now, I'm leaning toward a risk-free approach to selecting my team for this match, picking the players who have performed well from these two sides. Sunil Narine and Sam Curran were the two all-rounders who starred for the Invincibles in their thrilling win against the London Spirit.
Narine, in particular, tends to pick up most of his wickets through LBW or Bowled, getting some extra points for those dismissals. Will Jacks is the best batting option across both teams, with his off-spin likely to come in handy when faced with a rampaging left-hand batter.
Haris Rauf rattled the Southern Brave batting lineup last time out, and he'll look to carry on in the same vein for this match. Lastly, David Willey put in a solid all-round performance and is one of the most dependable Dream11 picks for The Hundred.

Players playing in Match 9: Shaheen Afridi (BOWL) (WEL), David Willey (ALL) (WEL), Haris Rauf (BOWL) (WEL), Sunil Narine (ALL) (OVI), Will Jacks (BAT) (OVI), and Sam Curran (ALL) (OVI).
There are plenty of good captaincy options to choose from, with Sam Curran at the top of my list because of his higher batting position and more assured quota of overs with the ball. Shaheen Afridi is as always a really strong option too.
