Jake Fraser-McGurk has displayed sparks of brilliance this season, although they have been few and far in between. In nine games played, the Australian opener has aggregated 271 runs at a blistering strike-rate of 175.97, which includes a couple of fifty-plus scores as well. Given the kind of form he is enjoying, he could be expected to deliver the goods in San Francisco's final round-robin game of the season.
