How often have you sat in front of the TV watching a cricket match and felt you knew the game and the players so well that you could predict the outcome? Well, if you start playing fantasy cricket, you can improve your knowledge of the players and how they can help a team win.

The best way to do this is by starting your online cricket journey on My11Circle, the new app from Play Games24x7. You can select players to build your team, create an effective game plan, and determine your wins by calculating points based on your players and the types of matches they play. This is a great way to understand your skills and how you can use game strategies to plan your wins.

What’s more, the top 100 scorers in every match get paid! The thing is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the points system, as winning a match depends on this. So while skills and knowledge are a must when playing cricket? online, here are some things you will need to keep in mind:

  • Selecting a team: You can choose your team from 25-30 players. If your chosen player is not playing the match you chose them for, you get no points and will surely lose. Just as you would choose a player for a real match based on the number of matches played and their current form, online cricket also requires you to take such precautions. So, when choosing your team on My11Circle, keep a player’s fitness in mind. If they are not fit to play real-life matches, they might not be adept to play on your team in the virtual world either.
  • Choosing a leader: Choosing a captain and vice-captain in fantasy cricket is not the same as for a real match. In online cricket, you can nominate anyone for these roles, even if they are different for an actual match. You must pay extra attention when nominating someone for these two positions, as being captain gives the player an automatic bonus multiplier of 2 while being captain gives the vice-captain a bonus multiplier of 1.5. Choose the player you expect to perform best as captain and the player you assume will perform second best as vice-captain.
  • Different points for each format: The points awarded for batting, bowling, fielding, strike rate, and economy rate are different for an ODI, a T20, and a test match. Check the formats carefully and don’t make the rookie mistake of assuming all three carry similar points and penalties. For instance, negative points for dismissal by duck are -2 for T20, -3 for ODI, and -4 for Test series. So if you’re not sure about your strategy, choose a format where least points are deducted till you’re able to improve your skills.
  • A great player doesn’t guarantee more points: You may choose a top-notch player to play in your fantasy team, but don’t assume it will automatically get you more points. Think of great batsmen like Dhoni who have saved their team frequently. Who wouldn’t choose someone like him? But consider that Dhoni usually comes in at 5th place. That doesn’t give him much time to play, and the points as they apply get reduced.
  • It’s not about the match, it’s about the points: Fantasy cricket is about points and not about who wins the match. Understanding the points mechanism is critical as it’s the only way to score a win in online cricket. So aim to make as many points as possible by hitting boundaries, taking wickets, and avoiding negative points as much as possible.
  • Bonus points: While there are a certain number of points designated to the match and the players you choose, you obviously want to score additional points as well. You can get these by choosing players who are great at taking catches, fantastic at fielding, and adept at making run-outs.

Other things to keep in mind

  • Understanding your pitch is necessary before you can choose the best players for your team. For example, a flat pitch is great for batting, so you can have more batsmen on your team. On the other hand, a pitch with grass is great for bowlers as it is bouncier, and the ball reaches the batsman faster.
  • Picking players who are yet to play international matches is a great way of diversifying your team and making a few points in the process. This will also help you improve your winning strategy.

Conclusion

The fantasy cricket points system is created with the intent of ensuring equality across all formats of the game. Understanding the system is crucial but it’s easy enough. Play a few practice matches to get the hang of the game and when you do, you can play for real money and win as well. Enjoy your cricketing journey with My11Circle!
