Overall Fantasy Strategy

This XI leans 7-4 towards PAK, which is a deliberate bet rather than a hedge. Babar Azam takes the armband. If PAK are rolled over cheaply, most of your score goes with them. If you want to de-risk it, swap one PAK middle-order batter for the equivalent slot on the other side before the toss.
