Squads and form
Form is each player’s average fantasy points in past T20s, by the app’s points system, the latest games weighing most. It sums up games played; it is no forecast. 19 of the 30 players have 5 or more T20s in our history. Under each name, the points in the latest T20s, up to five, the latest first; a game in the app links to its page. Below them, the average points a game in all T20s, against the other side and at this ground, from five games (under five, only how many); and the points in this series so far.
