How we predict the playing XI
We look at the last few line-ups each team has used, injury and availability news, conditions at the venue and the balance a team needs between batting, pace and spin. On a spin-friendly pitch like Chepauk, teams often add an extra spinner. On a pace-friendly surface, they may pick an extra seamer.
Why the playing XI matters for fantasy cricket
Picking a player who doesn't play means zero points. Always check the confirmed XI after the toss before finalising your fantasy cricket team.
