Wow those SR and ER bonuses look really low!

Hard to know who this is going to favour. The tournament itself has been very low scoring so far so particularly in the first round it might be time to stack up on bowlers. But even then you get a maximum of six economy points if wickets don't come with it!

First draft:

If we get to pick a whole new team every round then I think this makes a lot of sense. Maximise the doubles (you only get three per team), look for the best team matchup (this is probably West Indies, playing Uganda this round), and then just pick a few players where you like the individual matchup. It shouldn't surprise anyone to know that Kohli is at double the captain rate of any other player despite having only one game to Babar's two...

What does surprise me, though, is the Pakistan players don't even have headshots! It's almost like somebody wants them to be ignored

Good to see a few more people playing this!

I will sit this one out but joyed your Uganda comment. Maybe it depends on the toss? Middle order bats for WI might struggle to get a hit if they are chasing.

Unfortunately the Set locks out before the first game, so we have to weigh up those decisions before we know the result of the toss.

Ah, that sucks. I reckon I would err against in that case, unless it was a top 3 batsman. Obviously depends on price, possible bowling etc as well.

I assume this also means no looping! 😱

The salary cap in this format is crazy high. I just finished my team and I still have $15 left over!

That New York pitch has been pretty awful, but more relevantly, the outfield is incredibly slow. It's hard to see a high scoring game for India v Pakistan. Might need to change my team...

3/56 off 10 overs against the mighty Oman is not a great sign, although to be fair most scores do seem a lot lower so far this tournament.

Kind of refreshing after the IPL batting blood bath
