Captain & Vice-Captain Strategy
Captain and vice-captain together drive 25–45 per cent of your total score. For PZ vs R, the two questions to answer before locking in:
Captain (2×)
Pick a high-floor player whose role gives them the most opportunities — top-order batter on a flat pitch, frontline bowler on a turning track, opening seamer in early-season conditions.
Vice-Captain (1.5×)
Hedge your captain. If C is a batter, pick a bowler. If C is a bowler, pick a top-order batter. Different role buckets prevent a single match script from cratering both.
