Captain and vice-captain picks

Who to make captain and vice-captain, and why

CaptainCharli Knott BHExpected 43 points, so about 86 as captain (2×)Top scorer of this XI in 18% of 4,000 simulated matchesTop scorer of the match in 6 of 44 T20s (0 of 22 in the WBBL)
Vice-captainFatima Sana PSExpected 38 points, so about 57 as vice-captain (1.5×)In the XI's top two in 32% of 4,000 simulated matchesSecond-top scorer of the match in 6 of 44 T20s
  • The captain earns double and the vice-captain one and a half times their points, so these two picks swing a fantasy team more than any other. Put your two highest expected scorers there.
  • When expected points are close, prefer the player who tops the scoring more often (the simulated share and the record below), or pick the other one as a differential that fewer teams will have.
  • All-rounders and top-order batters are steadier picks: they can score with the bat, the ball and in the field.
