Power is useful only with opportunity
Six-hitting history is most useful when it is paired with a role that produces enough balls faced. A top-order batter at a small ground and a finisher with only a few deliveries have very different ceilings, even if both are capable of clearing the boundary.
For each match, first build a role-based core using the prediction framework. Then use confirmed XIs, toss information, and contest size in the today workflow to decide whether power upside fits the lineup.
