Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose a fantasy cricket captain?
Pick in-form players who suit the conditions, ideally top-order batters or all-rounders who bat high and bowl a full quota.
How many bowlers should I pick?
Most balanced teams have three to five bowlers, including all-rounders, depending on the pitch.
Should I pick more players from the chasing team?
When heavy dew is expected, batters from the chasing team often have an advantage, so some players lean that way.
