Binny's performance with the bat is a big concern.
And we should send Suryakumar up the order.

Let the winning combination continue. We can change the batting order after round 5, if needed.

 

[Ohm]

This simulator looks extremely realistic. Not only related to the lead-boards but also the results. Should have gone for it. Given that NMA already finished the database in CS15 and earlier CH didn't work in my PC, I couldn't to go with CH for my league.
