Tips and Strategies for Winning Fantasy Cricket Games

Fantasy cricket requires you to have a good knowledge of cricket to select the right players. Below are some simple tips and strategies to help you get started with fantasy cricket games.

• Avoid participating in every match shown on the app. Choose matches that you are well familiar with. 
• Before creating a team, gain insights into the environmental factors like the type of pitch on which the match will be played and the weather on the day of the match.
• When the match is about to begin, especially just after the toss, make sure all your players are in the playing 11. Feel free to make any changes required.
• Research players’ past performances and their recent form and fitness.
• Do complete analysis of the players you plan to choose to make the right choice for the game format. For instance, a player might play well in T20 cricket but might not be so good at Test cricket, so make sure to choose players that perform well in the format.
• Strike a balance between the player’s form and their potential.
• Pay extra attention while choosing the captain and vice captain as the captain scores 2x points and the vice captain scores 1.5x points for the same performance as other players.
