Why this team
- Par score around 111 - balanced surface, lean into top-order projections.
- Toss is roughly a coin flip here (50% bat-first over last 2 games).
- Captain pick: Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming (96.4 pts) - narrowest of margins over the VC.
- Stacks HK heavily (7 of 11) - more of their players grade as fantasy-relevant tonight; even out if you fancy JPN's XI to outperform projections.
