- Spin-friendly ground (338 par) - favour spinners and middle-order anchors who play turn well.
- Chasing wins 80% here (over last 10 games) - bowling first preferred, second-innings batters get a boost.
- Captain pick: Ben Stokes (201 pts) - 9% projection edge over the next-best pick.
- Stacks DUR heavily (7 of 11) - more of their players grade as fantasy-relevant tonight; even out if you fancy GLO's XI to outperform projections.
Small League: safe floor picks.
Grand League: higher-variance ceiling.
