Why this team
- Pace-friendly ground (160 par) - seam bowlers boosted; favour top-order stacks against the new ball.
- Slight chase edge (58% over last 12 games) - minor lean toward second-innings batters.
- Captain pick: Brad Evans (89.6 pts) - 5% projection edge over the next-best pick.
- Stacks NAM heavily (7 of 11) - more of their players grade as fantasy-relevant tonight; even out if you fancy ZIM's XI to outperform projections.
