Create Your Fantasy Team

This is where your skill and knowledge come into play. You need to create a fantasy team of 11 players who you think will perform the best in the real match. You are given a budget of 100 credits to build your team.

Team Composition Rules

Your team of 11 players must follow a specific combination of player types:

Player Type Minimum Maximum
Wicket-Keeper (WK) 1 4
Batsman (BAT) 3 6
All-Rounder (AR) 1 4
Bowler (BOWL) 3 6
You can select a maximum of 7 players from any single real-world team.

Choosing Your Captain & Vice-Captain

After selecting your 11 players, you must choose a Captain and a Vice-Captain for your team. This is a crucial decision as it can significantly impact your total score.

  • Captain (C): Your Captain will earn 2 times (2x) the points they score in the match.
  • Vice-Captain (VC): Your Vice-Captain will earn 1.5 times (1.5x) the points they score in the match.

Choose these players wisely! Your best-performing players should be your top contenders for these roles.

Tips for Beginners

New to fantasy cricket? Here are a few tips to help you get started:

Research is Key

Before selecting your team, check player form, recent performances, pitch conditions, and head-to-head records.

Create a Balanced Team

Don't just load your team with batsmen. A good balance of batsmen, bowlers, and all-rounders is essential for success.

Choose Captain & Vice-Captain Wisely

These two players can make or break your game. Select your most reliable and in-form players for these roles.

Stay Updated

Keep an eye on team news, injury updates, and playing XIs right before the match starts. You can make changes to your team up until the official match deadline.
