Let’s be real — fantasy during IND vs PAK is dangerous.
You don’t just play for points… you play for pride, pain, and memes.
One misread and boom — you’re the joker of the group chat.
But fear not, babbyy — here’s your full fantasy survival kit to win hearts, leagues, and maybe even cash 💰
🔥 1. Stack Your Team With Death Over Monsters
Why? Because IND vs PAK = chaos in the last 5 overs.
- Pick Hardik Pandya: He bowls overs 18–20, and can smack a 25(8) cameo.
- Naseem Shah / Haris Rauf: Absolute menace at the death.
- Arshdeep Singh: Left-arm, pressure king. He gets late wickets + economy points.
🧠 Tip: Death overs = fantasy gold.
🧨 2. Never Leave Out Kohli in ICC Matches
He’s the spiritual cheat code in India vs Pakistan.
- T20 WC 2022: 82*
- CT 2017: Lone warrior
- WC 2015: 107
- WC 2019: 77
He’s always in beast mode against PAK.
📈 Captain him. Vice-captain him. Manifest him.
🧠 3. Don’t Gamble on Openers (Too Much)
Shaheen + Bumrah = opening chaos.
- Rohit and Babar are fantasy darlings… until they’re gone in the first 2 overs.
- Safer picks? Middle-order rocks like Rizwan or Suryakumar Yadav — they play the “rescue the innings” game.
🔍 Watch toss + pitch report. If it’s bouncy, fade the openers.
🧃 4. Pick Dual-Role Players = Double Points
In such a spicy fixture, multiskill = money.
- Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shadab Khan — they bat AND bowl under pressure.
- Even if one skill fails, the other can save your game.
Fantasy is about balance — not Bollywood.
🔮 5. Don’t Let Bias Kill Your Team
I know… you love India. Or maybe Pakistan.
But fantasy don’t care about patriotism.
If Babar’s in form — pick him.
If Shaheen’s gonna wreck powerplay — pick him.
If KL Rahul is opening in a must-win game — MAYBE DON’T pick him 😭
Be logical, ruthless, emotionless. Like Dhoni during a super over.
🧠 Bonus Pro Tips:
- Keep a backup team ready if there’s rain forecast ☁️
- Use GL (grand league) tricks with risky vice-captains like Shaheen or Kuldeep
- Monitor player form from Asia Cup / warmups
💬 Final Word
India vs Pakistan in fantasy is not for the faint-hearted.
But if you:
- Trust the numbers
- Avoid emotional traps
- Use death overs, dual roles, and form
Then you don’t just survive the fixture…
You dominate it like Kohli at the MCG.
