Trump Card Pick( Riskier pick, but, if clicks then can give advantage over your opponent( can be tried in GL))

1. R Burl: Very fine batter and good hitter of Zimbabwe team, against any stronger opponent, he became must have pick but, against Jersey, he will be your trump card, as, he bats very lower down the order and is not surety that he will bowl his quota of overs. But, if, he gets some batting then can provide you good amount of points.
2. T Chatara: A good bowler but is useful only one there is some movement in the pitch if not then became average bowler, but against the opponent like Jersey he can be handy pick in normal condition as well. (He can be tries in SL as well)

Important Picks:

A Tribe: Technically solid Tribe is slow at the start but, once he get settled, he has variety of shot to execute and can up scoring rate. In previous encounter against USA, he has played gem of the knock and, looks good against both spin as well as pace.

H Carlyon: He will open the inning for Jersey, he is too a slow starter but, can give good point in the power play, bowling is his added advantage and this makes him safer choice for your dream11 team.

B Ward: Hard hitter Ward is very fine all-rounder. He has the ability to score some quick fire 20 to 30 runs and, will bowl 2 to 3 overs of spin bowling as well.

D Blampied: A promising spinner who depend on his line and length. Don’t provide much room to batters and provoke them to manufacture their shot and, thus able to take wickets. He is their best spin bowler and, can bowl in death over as well. He can provide you some points with bat as well.

Trump Card Pick( Risky pick for your Small League Team)

J Sumerauer: Fast bowling all-rounder is very decent fast bowler and can provide you some good point with bat as well. There are possibility that he can bowl in death overs and, in that case he can took 1-2 wickets. He was wicketless in the previous match but was economical.

C Perchard: Their captain is also a good bowler hasn’t have the impressive outing in the first match but have good domestic record and has the ability to give good performance.(Only try in your GL team).

B Stevens: Jersey’s number 5 batter-all rounder can be one of your’s trump card pick, if, he will be able to take some wicket with ball. However, he will only get to bowl 1 to 2 overs.
