In today’s digital world where nearly everyone is a massive cricket fan, people need a platform where they can fulfill their dream of being part of the cricket world. That is where fantasy cricket comes into play.

Fantasy cricket is a virtual cricket game where you create a virtual team of real players playing in a real cricket match. These players are selected based on various criteria such as their performance and form in previous matches. Certain scoring points are allotted to each player to give a better idea to the user who is creating his/her team.

A Beginner’s Guide To Play And Win Real Money

On the Howzat fantasy cricket app, you need to apply your cricket expertise and gaming skills while creating your dream team. If you are a beginner, start your fantasy cricket journey by doing a little research on the cricketers, their recent performance, and the pitch and weather conditions. Learn how to play fantasy cricket by understanding the game’s rules and take a look at the tips and tricks available online to make informed team selections for fantasy leagues. This step-by-step process will improve your chances of winning. Fantasy cricket gives full freedom to its users to pick any player so they can create the best possible team and compete with fellow cricket lovers across India. 

Creating a fantasy cricket team

All you need to do is download the Howzat fantasy cricket app and register yourself to get started. Go through the schedule of all the upcoming matches and select a match of your choice. Research the pitch and weather conditions of the location where the match is to be played. Select your team before the match begins, and you’re all set!

Selecting a match of your choice

On Howzat, you have the freedom to pick a match of your choice. Select the match and create a virtual team by picking the best 11 players from both teams playing in the real match. 

Don’t forget to pick your captain and vice captain. The captain gets 2 times the points as other players for the same performance, whereas the vice captain gets 1.5 times the points. Hence, consider carefully before picking any players to fill these two positions as they can make or break your game.

The number of players needed

When creating a fantasy cricket team, you need 11 players in your team. You can pick a maximum of 7 players from each team. A fantasy cricket team is usually made up of the following players:

  • Batters: A minimum of 1 and a maximum of 6 
  • Bowlers: A minimum of 1 and a maximum of 6 
  • All-rounders: A minimum of 1 and a maximum of 4 
  • Wicketkeepers: A minimum of 1 and a maximum of 4

Pro tip: Research the recent record and performance of every player, especially on the pitch they are playing on. This will help you make informed choices when you create your fantasy cricket team.

Participating in different matches

When you open a fantasy cricket app, you will find a plethora of options such as head-to-head matches and leagues. You also have the option to join practice contests and cash contests.

If you are new to fantasy cricket, it would be wise to start with practice contests to get a hang of the game. Once you feel confident about the game, you can start playing cash contests and join leagues to win real cash prizes.

You can also participate in multiple matches at one time and create up to 30-40 teams in the Grand league for one match. However, every time you create a new team for the same match, you will have to pay an additional entry fee. Therefore, it is always advisable to pick your team combinations wisely. 

Tips and tricks to win big in fantasy cricket

  • Create a well-balanced team by picking players from all four categories: batters, bowlers, wicket keepers and all-rounders. 
  • Make sure you choose your captain and vice captain wisely.
  • Pick players based on their recent performances, not past records. 
  • Keep an eye out for crucial factors that can affect the match such as pitch and weather conditions. 

Conclusion

Let this be your go-to guide for playing fantasy cricket online. Make sure to follow these tips and tricks to ace every online fantasy cricket contest!

Download the Howzat fantasy app and start playing fantasy games and join leagues to win real cash prizes daily.
