Why this team
- Par score around 324 - balanced surface, lean into top-order projections.
- Chasing wins 67% here (over last 3 games) - bowling first preferred, second-innings batters get a boost.
- Captain pick: Mitchell Stanley (138.9 pts) - narrowest of margins over the VC.
- Slight LAN edge (6-5) - marginally more of their players grade as fantasy-relevant; flip the balance if you back WOR's XI more.
