Why this team
- Par score around 136 - balanced surface, lean into top-order projections.
- Toss is roughly a coin flip here (50% bat-first over last 20 games).
- Captain pick: Rachin Ravindra (54.5 pts) - 9% projection edge over the next-best pick.
- Stacks WF heavily (7 of 11) - more of their players grade as fantasy-relevant tonight; even out if you fancy LS's XI to outperform projections.
