Powerplay & Death Overs — Impact Lens
WI PP: Akeal Hosein can take early wickets; if Mayers bowls, adds left-arm angle.
WI Death: Jason Holder central; McCoy (if picked) complements but has volatile returns.
NEP PP: Karan KC/Sompal Kami typically share new ball; Bhurtel aggressive with bat in PP.
NEP Middle/Death: Lamichhane strangles mid overs; Airee chips in; N Yadav at death.
Best PP attackers: Bhurtel (NEP bat), Holder (ball), Hosein (ball).
Best death assets: Holder (WI), N Yadav (NEP), Airee (bat/ball cameo).
MVP & Differential Picks
MVP (safe C/VC pool)
Jason Holder (AR, WI): Form + role overlap (bat anywhere 5–7; death overs).
Dipendra Singh Airee (AR, NEP): High floor via multi-skill; finishing role suits Sharjah.
Akeal Hosein (BOW, WI): PP + mid overs; wicket-taking at Sharjah; bonus economy.
Differentials (high-upside)
Navin Bidaisee (BAT, WI): 152 last H2H; if in XI and top-4, massive leverage.
Kushal Malla (AR, NEP): Spin-hitter; bowls SLA when chasing—late spike potential.
Keacy Carty (BAT, WI): Anchor who benefits from bat-first trend.
N Yadav (BOW, NEP): Death overs = ceiling; form hot.
Suggested Dream11 Team (Pre-toss)
Adjust 1–2 names once XIs/toss are out.
Combination: 1 WK – 4 BAT – 3 AR – 3 BOW (bat-first venue bias)
WK: A Jangoo (if not playing → Asif Sheikh)
BAT: R Paudel, K Bhurtel, K Carty, N Bidaisee
AR: J Holder (C), D S Airee (VC), K Malla
BOW: A Hosein, S Lamichhane, N Yadav
Bench swaps by scenario
If WI chase: Consider Mayers for Bidaisee/Carty; add an extra spinner over a seamer.
If NEP bat first: Lock Bhurtel + Paudel; consider Sompal/Karan KC for Malla if NEP stack pace.
Final Fantasy Tips (Conditional)
If you expect bat-first:
Stack top-4 of batting side + their primary death bowler.
Captain from multi-skill set (Holder/Airee).
If you expect a chase:
Elevate Lamichhane and another spinner; prefer anchors (Paudel/Carty).
Late swaps: If Bidaisee not in XI, pivot to Mayers (AR) or Asif Sheikh (WK) depending on balance.
Risk management: Keep at least 3 bowling slots (including 1 spinner) regardless of toss; Sharjah rewards wicket-takers even on stable decks.
Core: Holder, Airee, Hosein, Paudel, Bhurtel
Leverage: Bidaisee, N Yadav, Malla
Good luck—lock the toss edge and ride the all-rounders!
