H2H Nuggets (recent IND vs PAK data focus)

• Top H2H fantasy scorers: Hardik Pandya (IND) 368/5, Nawaz (PAK) 276/3, Arshdeep Singh (IND) 245/4, Haris Rauf (PAK) 234/5.

• Perfect XI frequency: Arshdeep (IND) & Haris Rauf (PAK) 4/last 5 each; Hardik 4/5.

Takeaway: Death-overs bowlers (Arshdeep/Rauf) and batting all-rounders (Hardik/Nawaz) are repeatedly decisive.

Powerplay & Death-Overs Impact

Powerplay (0–6)

• India bowl: Bumrah + Arshdeep target Pakistan openers (Saim Ayub/Fakhar). Swing on offer at night.

• Pakistan bowl: Shaheen vs Gill/SKY/Tilak early – huge wicket upside; Nawaz can slip one over to Gill/Right-hand pack.

Death Overs (16–20)

• India: Bumrah & Arshdeep (yorkers/variation) + Hardik as 3rd option.

• Pakistan: Haris Rauf + Faheem/Shaheen. Rauf’s late-phase strike-rate makes him a fantasy magnet.

MVP & Differential Picks

MVP Tier (Safe Ceilings)

• Kuldeep Yadav (IND, BOW): Dubai rewards quality spin; recent mega-return here.

• Mohammad Nawaz (PAK, AR): Red-hot form; dual-point avenues.

• Hardik Pandya (IND, AR): Consistent H2H returns; death batting + 2 overs.

High-Upside Differentials

• Varun Chakravarthy (IND, BOW): Mystery + Dubai grips; pairs well with Kuldeep.

• Abrar Ahmed (PAK, BOW): If plays, matchup vs India’s RHB core in middle is attractive.

• Shivam Dube (IND, AR): Venue spike already; if he bowls an over, bonus.

Suggested Dream11 Combination (Small League)

(Subject to final XIs; balance for chasing conditions)

1 WK

• Mohammad Haris (Aggressive, venue spike)

4 BAT

• Shubman Gill

• Suryakumar Yadav (class + H2H role)

• Fakhar Zaman (counterpuncher)

• Tilak Varma (LHB vs pace; entry flexible)

2 AR

• Hardik Pandya (VC)

• Mohammad Nawaz

4 BOW

• Kuldeep Yadav (C)

• Varun Chakravarthy

• Jasprit Bumrah

• Haris Rauf

Bench/Alternates (for toss/role changes): Shaheen Afridi, Faheem Ashraf, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Saim Ayub, Abrar Ahmed.

Why C/VC:

• Kuldeep (C): Highest wicket-ceiling on this surface; middle-overs dominance.

• Hardik (VC): Reliable H2H returns + dual role; safeguards volatility.

Conditional Strategy & Final Tips

• If IND bowl first / chase: Prioritize Bumrah/Arshdeep, keep Gill/SKY. Kuldeep remains must-have for middle overs.

• If PAK bowl first / chase: Rauf gains juice; Nawaz/Shaheen both in. Consider upgrading Faheem over a batter.

• Slow surface reading early: Double-spin from either side—Kuldeep + Varun and Nawaz/Abrar—becomes the core.

• Flat-ish start (dew heavy): Edge to death pacers (Bumrah/Rauf) and chasing top order (Gill/SKY or Fakhar/Haris).

• Grand League punts: Dube, Abrar, Axar (match-up dependent).
