Tips to use when playing fantasy cricket

The recent IPL T20 shutting midway was a heartbreaker. That’s what we expected in return for the empty cheerless stadiums. “Do it yourself” home stadium environment was cosy but not as stimulating as an energetic stadium.

Nonetheless, you have your soldiers for every desperate hour. For the “cricket FOMO” hour, we have cricket fantasy apps like Dream11. This app allows users to play cricket matches related to current ongoing tournaments. You get a winning price for each match you win. Though there are a few tips and tricks that you should follow for an enjoyable cricket game experience. Here are a few of them.

  1. Team selection is crucial

It’s exciting that you get to choose your players for your fantasyteam. But such power comes with a responsibility too. Make sure you strategically pick out players for every match you play. Dream11 offers a plethora of options that can be tempting and stimulating. Choose what’s best for the match. Dime is with the victorious!

  1. Batsman to bowler ratio:
     This can be the trickiest decision to make. Should I keep extra batsmen or how about I select the fastest bowlers beforehand. Too confusing and too overwhelming. But worry not this all can completely change depending on the match strategy. Though in an ideal case you can keep 4 batsmen, 4 bowlers, 2 all-rounders and 1 wicket-keeper.

  2. Performance history:
    Check player’s past history before adding them to your team. A common rookie mistake made by users is choosing the popular and big names. Tempting but ditch this habit as there are more potential and unheard players in the tournament.

  3. Weather & pitch:
    Don’t forget to consider the weather and pitch conditions. Both are important variables in determining how the game will turn out. Choose spinners if the pitch is dry. If the pitch is green, you should choose swing bowlers and players who are well versed with ground analysis.

  4. Look out for daily tips and suggestions:
    Stay affixed on daily fantasy news, cricket tips and alerts. This helps you keep updated on the overall performance of players. Also knowing any changes in the ongoing tournaments will help you to be close to winning matches. You can simply search “fantasy cricpredictions for today” and you will land up numerous sources to choose from.
  5. Bowlers can be your winning factor:
    At times, we only focus on batsmen. We consider winning the match by maximizing the runs. But here’s a fact that we often skip. One can win a match with a good bowling strategy. Hence, selecting the best bowlers (bearing in mind their performance history) becomes essential.

To sum it all up, cricket fantasy games are a pixelated representation of a real cricket match. Teams are strategically built and managed similarly. Learning to manage a team can help you play multiple matches at once. Today, fantasy league has become a serious game and there are millions of players honing their skills every day with it.
