GLA
vs
HAM
- Par score around 317 - balanced surface, lean into top-order projections.
- Chasing wins 71% here (over last 7 games) - bowling first preferred, second-innings batters get a boost.
- Captain pick: Kyle Abbott (140.4 pts) - narrowest of margins over the VC.
- Stacks GLA heavily (7 of 11) - more of their players grade as fantasy-relevant tonight; even out if you fancy HAM's XI to outperform projections.
Small League: safe floor picks.
Grand League: higher-variance ceiling.
All re-run when XIs confirm.
