Takeaways for next time

  • Arafat Minhas: Prioritize him for the armband after 219 points built on 60 and 8.4-0-40-6.
  • Hasan Nawaz: Strong VC option—100 points powered by 79 (74b, 5x4, 4x6).
  • Babar Azam: Popular pick at 10% captain, but 76 with the multiplier suggests looking to all-round ceilings first.
