BBL SuperCoach Team for Round 2, BBL Fantasy Tips & Predictions for Big Bash League [Dec 13th - 15th 2020]

Round 1 of the BBL SuperCoach Fantasy Cricket has come to an end after a couple of exciting games at the Big Bash League 2020. After the first 4 games, Glenn Maxwell's Melbourne Stars are right on top of the points table with 2 wins to their name from 2 games.

The Renegades and Hurricanes are hot on their tail with one win each while the Sixers, Thunder, Heat and Scorchers all failed to open their account after their respective first games in this year's competition.

Who scored the most points in Round 1?

Nathan Coulter-Nile was the top performer of Round 1 in BBL SuperCoach 2020

Despite being rested for the Stars' second game on Saturday, Nathan Coulter-Nile remained the player who scored the most points in Round 1 of BBL SuperCoach after his Man of the Match performance against Brisbane Heat. He scored a grand total of 169 points, owing mostly to the four wickets he picked up in that game, sending the Heat's innings into a tailspin.

Coulter-Nile recorded figures of 4-10 from 3.5 overs in what was a career-best performance from the Aussie quick. His outstanding bowling effort included 15 dot balls and no boundaries. In addition, Coulter-Nile also affected not one, but two quick-thinking run-outs in his follow-through to close out the innings.

Which players should be traded in and out?

BBL SuperCoach allows a maximum of 3 trades to be made per week. Here are Sportskeeda's suggested trades for Round 2 of the competition.

Players to trade out:

Marcus Stoinis (Melbourne Stars) - $185,700

Andre Fletcher (Melbourne Stars) - $138,000

Billy Stanlake (Melbourne Stars) - $75,400

Players to trade in:

Phil Salt (Adelaide Strikers) - $134,300

Alex Carey (Adelaide Strikers) - $165,800

Xavier Bartlett (Brisbane Heat) - $52,200

While the trio of Marcus Stoinis, Andre Fletcher and Billy Stanlake had reasonable outings in their first two games, they did not set the stage on fire. Moreover, the Melbourne Stars do not have a game in Round 3. Keeping these factors in mind, these three players have been traded out.

The Adelaide Strikers play 2 games in both Round 2 and Round 3 of BBL SuperCoach 2020. Alex Carey has been one of the Strikers' most consistent performers, and even though he will not be available for their first game against the Hurricanes, he is sure to provide value in the next 3 games that he is expected to play in the two upcoming rounds.

Similarly, Phil Salt, the young Welshman, has also shown great potential and he also plays for the Strikers. Salt has been rising through the ranks at a rapid pace and has piled up a mountain of runs for his county side, Sussex.

Xavier Bartlett on the other hand has been included due to his performance against the Melbourne Stars. Despite not producing an eye-catching performance, the young fast bowler has shown a lot of promise.
