Pitch & Venue Analysis – Sheikh Zayed Stadium (ODIs)
Nature: Balanced – rewards mixed selections.
Avg 1st inns: 220 | Avg wickets/inn: 8
Toss: Captains tend to bat first (60%), but chasing has won ~70% recently → batting gets tougher but chasing sides pace the innings better.
Role by innings (Fantasy pts/over):
1st inns: Pace 8.7 > Spin 7.0 (new-ball movement)
2nd inns: Spin 7.2 > Pace 6.3 (grip & hold at night)
Venue leaders (recent): Rashid Khan, Omarzai, Mehidy, T Hasan Sakib, Ibrahim Zadran, Gurbaz.
Fantasy angle at Abu Dhabi
Start with 2 pacers + 1 spinner if you expect the opponent to bat first; flip to 2 spinners when defending/under lights.
All-rounders with 10-over potential (Omarzai, Mehidy) are excellent captaincy anchors on a 220-type surface.

Powerplay & Death Overs Impact (Fantasy View)
Powerplay (0–10):
BAN: T Hasan Sakib + Mustafizur can nick out AFG’s openers; add Tanzim/Taskin if announced.
AFG: Omarzai’s hit-the-deck and Ghazanfar if used early to Shanto/Hridoy.
Middle & Death (30–50):
AFG: Rashid dominates overs 20–40; Omarzai returns at the death.
BAN: Mustafizur at the death; Mehidy ties down middle overs, creating wicket opportunities.
Captaincy Matrix
Safe C/VC: A Omarzai, M Hasan Miraz (workload + dual skill)
Ceiling C punts: Rashid Khan, Ibrahim Zadran
Differentials: A Ghazanfar, T Hasan Sakib, Tanzid/Towhid Hridoy (depending XI)
Suggested Dream11 Combination (Balanced, venue-aware)
Will refine once XIs drop; for now a safe template.
WK (1–2):
R Gurbaz (safe)
J Ali Anik / Nurul Hasan (value WK – choose 1 if budget/XI allows)
BAT (3–4):
Ibrahim Zadran
T Hridoy
H Shahidi / N Hossain Shanto (form vs role; pick one)
AR (2–3):
A Omarzai (C)
M Hasan Miraz (VC)
M Nabi (GL punt)
BOW (3–4):
Rashid Khan
T Hasan Sakib
A Ghazanfar
M Rahman / T Islam (pick based on toss)
11 picks (default build): R Gurbaz; I Zadran, T Hridoy, H Shahidi; A Omarzai (C), M H Miraz (VC); Rashid Khan, T Hasan Sakib, A Ghazanfar, M Rahman; J Ali Anik
(Swap M Rahman ↔ T Islam based on team balance; drop J Ali if you prefer 3 AR / 4 BOW.)
Conditional Strategy (Toss & Innings)
If AFG bat first:
Prioritise Ibrahim Zadran + Shahidi stack; keep Omarzai locked.
Bowling: T Hasan Sakib (new ball) + Rashid (middle choke).
Consider 2 pacers + 1 spinner from BAN.
If BAN bat first:
Lock Rashid (middle), Ghazanfar as value.
Take Hridoy over Shanto for middle-overs scoring.
Add Mustafizur for death-overs wickets.
If chasing under lights:
Add a second frontline spinner (Rashid + T Islam/Mehidy) due to second-innings grip.
Captaincy tilt to all-rounders (Omarzai/Mehidy) for dual routes.
Final Tips
Build around 3 premium all-rounders/spinners (Omarzai, Mehidy, Rashid) and rotate your BAN quick (Sakib/Mustafizur) per toss.
AFG stack (2–3 core) is slightly safer given form and H2H.
Leave 1 credit pivot to flip M Rahman ↔ T Islam after toss/XI.
Avoid overloading top-order from the team chasing if dew eases bowling; instead bank on finishers + spinners for late wickets.
Good luck—lock the cores (Omarzai, Rashid, Mehidy), then flex the rest based on toss and XIs!
