Most consistent scorers (4+ matches >50 pts):
R Hossain, T Ahmed, A Hosein, J Holder, B King.Recent breakout game:
S Hassan’s 131 vs AFG (huge spike for fantasy).Powerplay & Death Overs Impact
Powerplay specialists:
BAN: Taskin Ahmed, T Hasan Sakib (pace), Nasum Ahmed (if plays, spin choke).
WI: Akeal Hosein (PP spin), Jayden Seales (pace) if selected.
Death overs (16–20):
WI: Jason Holder, Romario Shepherd – wickets + boundary points.
BAN: Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed – cutters at the death.
Fantasy Angle: Prioritise death-overs bowlers for wicket bursts; PP bowlers get LBW/bowled on this surface with a hint of movement.
MVP (C/VC) & Differential Picks
MVP Tier (Safe/Ceiling):
Jason Holder (AR, WI) – Form + venue spike + death overs + batting utility.
Rishad Hossain (AR, BAN) – High recent floor with wicket-taking consistency.
Akeal Hosein (BOW, WI) – PP + mid overs; economy + wickets.
Differentials (High-upside, lower pick %):
Taskin Ahmed (BOW, BAN) – Venue top-5; PP + death = strike zone.
Jayden Seales (BOW, WI) – Venue 107; if in XI, premium pacer punt.
Towhid Hridoy / Tanzid Hasan (BAT, BAN) – Stable middle/top order exposure.
Mustafizur Rahman (BOW, BAN) – Classic death trapper; matchup dependent.
Suggested Dream11 Team (Pre-toss; adjust to XIs)
WK (1): S Hope
BAT (3): B King, R Powell, T Hridoy
AR (3): J Holder (C), R Hossain (VC), M Hasan
BOW (4): A Hosein, T Ahmed, T Hasan Sakib, J Seales
Bench/Alternates: L Das (WK), M Rahman (BOW), N Ahmed (BOW), A Athanaze (BAT), R Shepherd (AR)
Captain: Jason Holder
Vice-Captain: Rishad Hossain
Alt C/VC: Akeal Hosein / Taskin Ahmed
Build logic: Pace-heavy (4 bowlers) to exploit venue; three all-rounders for dual avenues; one safe WK.
Final Fantasy Tips (Conditional)
If WI bowl second: Boost pacers (Holder/Seales) – second-innings pace historically spikes fantasy points here.
If BAN bowl second: Fit Taskin + Fizz combo; consider Nasum only if pitch looks drier.
If team winning toss bats first: Keep one anchor batter (King/Hridoy) + two death bowlers for wicket haul defending ~170.
If heavy dew/chase on: Tilt towards chasing top-order + second-innings pacers from the bowling side.
Safety Net: Playing XIs not out yet—lock core (Holder, Akeal, Taskin, Rishad), then swap fringe picks (Seales/Fizz, Hridoy/Liton) after toss based on role clarity.
Good luck, and play responsibly!
