Why this team
- High-scoring, pace-friendly ground (272 par) - seam bowlers boosted; favour top-order stacks against the new ball.
- Slight chase edge (57% over last 7 games) - minor lean toward second-innings batters.
- Captain pick: Thomas Rew (241.7 pts) - 17% projection edge over the next-best pick.
- Stacks SOM heavily (7 of 11) - more of their players grade as fantasy-relevant tonight; even out if you fancy SUS's XI to outperform projections.
