Vice-Captain Picks

Dream11 Team Strategy
Small League (SL) Strategy
- Solid core: top-order batters + one all-rounder + two quality bowlers (spinners/slowers)
- Avoid overly risky picks — go for stable performers
- Captain: top-order batter or all-rounder; Vice-captain: spinner or stable middle-order batter
Grand League (GL) Strategy
- Mix in 1–2 differential picks (less popular all-rounders or bowlers)
- Consider a bowling-heavy or spin-heavy combo given pitch conditions
- Use players from both teams to hedge, but slightly favour KINGS if they bat first
Match Prediction
Considering form, balance, and pitch conditions:
- Expect a competitive total around 155–170.
- Given current momentum and batting depth, Biratnagar Kings have a slight edge, especially if they get early runs.
- However, if spinners/slow bowlers exploit the pitch and CR batsmen finish strongly, Chitwan Rhinos can upset — match leans towards Kings, but tight finish likely.
Predicted Winner: Biratnagar Kings (KINGS)
