- Par score around 350 - balanced surface, lean into top-order projections.
- Chasing wins 60% here (over last 5 games) - bowling first preferred, second-innings batters get a boost.
- Captain pick: George Hill (183.5 pts) - narrowest of margins over the VC.
- Stacks YOR heavily (7 of 11) - more of their players grade as fantasy-relevant tonight; even out if you fancy LEI's XI to outperform projections.
Small League: safe floor picks.
Grand League: higher-variance ceiling.
