The final T20I between India and Australia fast approaches as the build-up to the ICC T20 World Cup, and more importantly, the Test series continues. After two riveting encounters between the two sides, there is a lot at stake, especially for players such as Steve Smith and T Natarajan in this game. While Smith, who is currently trading at 50.50 Sixer Coins, would love to lead Australia to a consolation win ahead of the Test series, Natarajan would be eyeing another good performance to seal his place in the ICC T20 World Cup squad, taking place next year. Speaking of sealing a place, the stakes are relatively higher for one particular individual, who has been rated quite highly by many - Sanju Samson. Elegant on the eye and aggressive with the bat, Samson's game has improved massively over the last year or so. However, Samson is still due for a big knock in the international circuit. Despite his IPL exploits, Samson's stock price has dropped marginally in this T20I series and currently reads 49.90 Sixer Coins per Share! Is he worth the bucks in the final T20I and in the long run? Here's some much-needed insight to kickstart your day in the Sixer Market!Samson averages a match score of just 35.86 in his T20I career! Is a big one around the corner?Sanju Samson has always been regarded as a potential star from his early days, and why not? Good technique, a penchant for big runs and intent-driven batting - Samson has everything to make it big in the T20I format although he has lacked consistency so far. However, this wasn't the case in the IPL as he struck a chord with both power hitting and consistency. Samson exceeded his Runs Expected value on all but just three occasions, throwing some light on how impactful his knocks were in the IPL. Also, he did register three 100+ match scores, which nearly took RR to the playoffs. Such performances helped him topple Shreyas Iyer and Manish Pandey in the race for the number four spot as well as he has been preferred in that very spot in both games so far. However, it hasn't gone according to plan for Samson in his T20I career itself.Although Samson has played in only six games, he has only managed 73 runs at a strike rate of nearly 120. He has managed only one 50+ match score, in the first T20I against Australia, which isn't Samson-like by any means. His match score average of 35.86 in T20Is is abject, but one needs to account for the fact that he was used in different positions and in foreign conditions as well. He hasn't played even one game at home although Samson has shown signs of improvement over the last two T20Is. In both games, Samson scored 7.29 runs more than his expectation although his wicket value aggregate reads just 0.76. However, the pitch in Sydney makes for a good case with Samson being used to counter the spinners on a good batting track. With an added emphasis on Samson to come good today, his fantasy stocks could be the ideal options to build a portfolio around in the long term. Although he doesn't feature in the Tests, India is set to play a few tours early next year. Also, the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy could be a good opportunity for an increment, which certainly should outweigh the wait that could come with Samson's fantasy stocks. At 49.90 Sixer Coins, Samson's stock is very reasonably priced and could be the perfect one for your portfolio in the long run!Down by 8.38%, Are Maxwell's stocks worth the bucks? Trading at 46 Sixer Coins per Share!Speaking of long term assets, Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell also presents a decent case in the Sixer Market. Trading at 46.00 Sixer Coins per Share, Glenn Maxwell has been blowing hot and cold of late in the limited-overs formats. In the two T20Is so far, Maxwell has averaged a match score of a shade under 30, with an 8.38% decrease not helping his fantasy shareholders at all. However, Maxwell has been pushed as their incumbent number four, which adds to his case of a trade. Not to mention the fast approaching BBL 2020-21 season, a competition which has been dear to Maxwell over the last few seasons. However, he will need to overcome Natarajan today, whose fantasy stock price has already risen by 6.62% in the T20I series. Watch out for his fast yorkers in the backend of the innings! If you're not down with the duo mentioned above, you could always fall back on the consistent Virat Kohli, whose fantasy stock price reads 54.40 Sixer Coins per Share. Like Maxwell, Kohli also will need to get past Adam Zampa, who has enjoyed some success against the Indian captain in recent seasons. All in all, a fantastic game of cricket beckons in Sydney with several eye-catching deals on offer. Who are you buying?
