Top Fantasy Picks
MVP (Safe C/VC Pool)
Sophie Devine (AR, NZ-W): Ceiling king; contributes across facets.
Amelia Kerr (AR, NZ-W): High floor + form; bowling adds safety.
Sidra Ameen (BAT, PAK-W): Elite consistency; anchors big totals.
Fatima Sana (AR, PAK-W): Form + role at death = spike potential.
Differential Picks (GL/Small-League edges)
Lea Tahuhu (BOW, NZ-W): Venue favors pace; PP + death.
Diana Baig (BOW, PAK-W): Proven at Premadasa; wicket clusters.
Rameen Shamim (BOW, PAK-W): Under-picked, steady venue record.
Maddy Green (BAT, NZ-W): Solid floor if NZ bat first.
Suggested Dream11 Team (Pre-toss)
Balance: Pace-heavy attack, reliable top-order anchors; adjust at toss.
WK (1): Muneeba Ali
BAT (3): Sidra Ameen, Suzie Bates, Maddy Green
AR (3): Sophie Devine (C), Amelia Kerr (VC), Fatima Sana
BOW (4): Lea Tahuhu, Jess Kerr, Diana Baig, Nashra Sandhu
Bench/Alternates: Hannah Rowe (for Green on bowling tracks), Rameen Shamim (for Sandhu in GL), Izzy Gaze (WK punt), Georgia Plimmer (ultra-diff).
Final Fantasy Tips (Conditional)
If NZ-W bat first: Stack top-order NZ (Devine, Bates, Green) + Tahuhu/Jess Kerr. Consider Rowe in place of one PAK bowler. Keep Ameen as opposition anchor.
If PAK-W bat first: Lock Ameen + Muneeba + Fatima Sana, and elevate Diana Baig. You can drop one NZ batter for Rameen Shamim in GLs.
Chase tilt: Still pace-friendly; death pacers keep value even when defending small totals.
Small Leagues: Keep captaincy within Devine / Amelia Kerr / Sidra Ameen.
Grand Leagues: Try C Tahuhu / Baig on greenish decks; or VC Fatima Sana for death-overs spikes.
Note: Playing XIs not announced—recheck at toss for role changes (e.g., extra seamer vs second spinner).
