Powerplay hitman, top of order, high ceiling

  • 2 Batters (Smith, Root or Eskinazi)

  • 2 WKs (Bairstow, Banton)

Match 2:

  • Captain: R. Ahmed

  • VC: Willey

  • Differential: Harrison (picked <15%)

  • 4 out of 5 times, powerplay pacer scored >50 points

🧪 Final Dream11 Team Prediction

WK: J. Bairstow, T. Banton
BAT: S. Smith, J. Root, S. Eskinazi
AR: C. Green (C), R. Ahmed (VC), M. Stoinis
BOWL: R. Meredith, D. Willey, D. Payne

🔮 Final Fantasy Tips

  • Bairstow is consistent across toss results — safe C pick

  • Green + Ahmed can give you all-round points even if one fails

  • Prefer 3 pacers minimum — this venue is deadly for quicks

  • Don’t sleep on Harrison — current form + low ownership

  • If you chase GL, go Meredith (C) and Harrison (VC) combo
