Why this team
- Low-scoring ground (242 par) - bowlers in play; lean off middle-order finishers.
- Slight chase edge (55% over last 29 games) - minor lean toward second-innings batters.
- Captain pick: Xavier Bartlett (119.2 pts) - 26% projection edge over the next-best pick.
- Slight ZIM edge (6-5) - marginally more of their players grade as fantasy-relevant; flip the balance if you back AUS's XI more.
