💡 Final Fantasy Tips
If Pakistan bat first, prefer top-order batters + 3 pacers.
If South Africa bat first, invest in middle-order hitters and death bowlers.
Venue trends favor pacers early, but spinners can strike in middle overs.
Safe strategy: 7–4 team combination leaning slightly toward Pakistan.
