Death specialists: Mustafizur/Hasan Mahmud (BAN), Joseph (WI).
Middle-overs choke: Taijul (BAN), Motie (WI), Roston Chase (WI), Rishad (BAN).
MVP (Safe) Picks
M. Hasan Miraz (BAN, AR): High floor via overs + batting contributions.
Shai Hope (WI, WK): Form + role = reliable points.
Gudakesh Motie (WI, BOW): Mirpur suits him; wicket-taking upside.
Jayden Seales (WI, BOW): Early breakthroughs translate to big fantasy swings.
Taijul Islam (BAN, BOW): Proven Mirpur operator.
Differential (High Upside) Picks
Towhid Hridoy (BAN, BAT): Form + stability in a low-scoring game.
Sherfane Rutherford (WI, BAT): Game-changer if WI need a surge.
Kevin Carty (WI, BAT): Under-owned accumulator.
Tanzim Hasan Sakib (BAN, BOW): PP wickets = bonus.
Rishad Hossain (BAN, BOW): Wrist-spin bite as surfaces tire.
Suggested Dream11 Combination (Bowling-heavy 6–5)
WK (1): Shai Hope (WI)
BAT (3): Towhid Hridoy (BAN), Sherfane Rutherford (WI), Kevin Carty (WI)
AR (2): M. Hasan Miraz (BAN), Roston Chase (WI)
BOWL (5): Gudakesh Motie (WI), Jayden Seales (WI), Alzarri Joseph (WI), Taijul Islam (BAN), Tanzim Hasan Sakib (BAN)
Captain: M. Hasan Miraz
Vice-Captain: Gudakesh Motie
Alt VC (safer): Shai Hope
Rationale: Mirpur’s low totals favor bowlers/ARs; Miraz + Motie are multi-over, high-involvement picks. Hope is the safety net if batting eases.
Final Fantasy Tips
If WI bowl first: Prioritize Seales/Joseph/Motie; consider Rutherford as differential finisher in chase.
If BAN bowl first: Double up on Taijul + Tanzim; slot Rishad over a WI batter if pitch looks very dry.
If dew appears (night finish): Chasing side’s batters get a bump — keep Hope locked; consider upgrading to a second keeper/batter if teams load batting.
Credits balance: Maintain at least 5 frontline bowlers; avoid over-investing in top-order batters on this surface.
Late swap readiness: If Bangladesh rest a senior pacer, Hasan Mahmud becomes a sharp replacement; for WI, if they pick an extra spinner, Motie + Chase stack gains even more value.
Good luck — build around bowling volume and all-rounder involvement at Mirpur!
