FANTASY CRICKET · THE BASICS
Build a fantasy cricket XI
with a plan.
Fantasy cricket brings your match knowledge into the team you select. For a T20 World Cup, start with the rules, then weigh each pick by role and opportunity. See our T20 World Cup fantasy cricket guide for a tournament-focused checklist.
Four steps to a considered team
01Choose a match and read the rules
Check the fixture, contest format, entry deadline, lineup requirements and scoring system. These details can differ from one contest to another, including fantasy league cricket T20 World Cup contests on different platforms.
02Build a balanced lineup
Review player roles, current availability, recent performances and the conditions. Our pitch guide and form guide help you weigh that context. Select players within the limits shown by the contest.
03Make your captain and vice-captain picks
Captain choices can have a larger effect on fantasy scoring. Consider role and opportunity; our captain guide and scoring primer explain what to check.
04Review before the deadline
Team news can change. Recheck the playing lineup, your selections and the contest deadline before locking in your team.
Contest rules, player availability, scoring and eligibility vary. The live contest rules are the source of truth; review them before participating.
