BOWL: Rashid Khan, J Behrendorff, L Wood
🔹 Captain: Sam Curran
🔹 Vice-Captain: R Higgins / Rashid Khan
Favor OVI-heavy stack (7-8 players) for safety.
If OVI bats first: Cox, Jacks, and Curran are must-haves.
If LNS bats first: Higgins & Smith can provide big upside.
Death overs bowlers (R Khan, Curran, Sowter) are key to fantasy success.
👉 Safe combo: 2 WK, 2 BAT, 3 AR, 4 BOWL (All-rounders hold max value).
