Team | Chance |
---|---|
Pakistan | 75% |
Oman | 25% |
Type: Balanced – “make even selection of batsmen and bowlers.”

Toss trend: Captains here have preferred chasing; recent split: Wins chasing ~90% vs batting first ~10%.

Pace vs Spin (fantasy points/over):
Overall: Pace 11.4, Spin 11.1 (almost even)
1st inns: Pace 12.2 ≈ Spin 12.3
2nd inns: Pace 10.3 > Spin 7.7 (pacers trend better while defending/closing)
Actionable fantasy angle: If a team chases, load top-order bat + death pacers from the defending side.
Prioritize openers/top-3 and death-overs pacers.
If Pakistan bowl second: Afridi/Rauf value spikes; if they chase, elevate Zaman/Ayub.
Keep 1–2 Oman anchors (J Singh, A Kaleem) even in a PAK-heavy build.

Dream Team frequency (recent): M Nawaz (8x), S Ahmed-OMN (6x), A Kaleem-OMN (6x), J Singh-OMN (6x), S Ayub (5x), S Afridi (5x), S Muqeem (5x).
Pakistan PP bowlers: S Afridi (new ball), support from H Rauf if used early. Wicket-taking threat up front.
Pakistan death bowlers: H Rauf primary, Afridi/F Ashraf support – strong DK/GL wicket upside.
Oman PP batters: J Singh (form anchor), support casts rotate; if he survives PP, he’s your Oman points nucleus.
Oman bowlers: S Ahmed mixes through middle & death; H Shah/S Mehmood offer utility if selected.
M Nawaz (PAK, AR) – Monster 5-game run (657). Bat + 4-over potential + field points.
S Ayub (PAK, AR) – Dual-impact; spike game of 181 in recent list.
S Afridi (PAK, Bow) – New-ball strike + death overs = consistent wicket equity.
H Rauf (PAK, Bow) – High upside at the death; 158 in last 5 set.
A Ahmed (PAK, Bow) – Form spikes (161/141 in sample), often under-picked.
F Ashraf (PAK, AR) – If batting at 6/7 + 3–4 overs, offers balanced floor.
J Singh (OMN, Bat) – Oman’s best recent batter; viable if OMN bat first.
A Kaleem (OMN, AR) – 160 in last 5 sample; floats up the order at times.
S Ahmed (OMN, Bow) – GL punt for 2–3 wickets if Oman defend.
Built for Dubai balance + Pakistan edge. Swap 1–2 based on toss/lineups.

Bench/Alt switches (depending on XI/toss): S Mirza (PAK Bow), A Ahmed (PAK Bow), S Muqeem (PAK Bow), V Shukla ↔ H Mirza (OMN WK) if team sheet changes.
If Pakistan bat first:
Keep Afridi/Rauf (wickets up front + death).
Retain Ayub/Zaman as top-order run stack.
Captaincy: Nawaz/Ayub; VC: Afridi/Rauf.
If Pakistan chase:
Chasing bias at Dubai → double down on PAK top-order (Ayub, Zaman).
Consider swapping S Ahmed (OMN) to A Ahmed (PAK) for wicket upside while defending.
If Oman bat first:
Hold J Singh + A Kaleem.
Bowlers: Afridi/Rauf become near-musts.
Safety notes: Playing XIs not out—prioritize confirmed starters; adjust 1–2 picks to maintain 7-4 PAK-OMN split.
