Getting Started with Fantasy Cricket
Fantasy cricket is a game where you create a virtual team of real cricket players and score points based on how those players perform in real-life matches. The better your players perform in the actual match, the more points you score. It's a game of skill that requires knowledge of cricket, players' forms, and match conditions.
At ScorelineStrategies, we've made fantasy cricket more exciting with our user-friendly interface, real-time updates, and various contest formats. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started and master the game.

You can select a maximum of 7 players from a single team. Choose your players wisely based on their recent form, the match conditions, and their historical performance against the opponent.
Select Captain and Vice-Captain

Choose these roles strategically as they can significantly impact your total score.

Pro Tips for Success
Research is Key
Always research player form, pitch conditions, weather forecast, and team news before creating your team. The more informed you are, the better your chances of success.
Follow the Toss
The toss can significantly impact player performance, especially in limited-overs matches. If possible, wait until after the toss to finalize your team.
Balance Your Team
Don't spend all your credits on star players. A balanced team with a mix of high-credit and value players often performs better than a top-heavy team.
Captain Selection
Your Captain selection is crucial as they earn double points. Choose a player who has a high probability of performing well in the specific match conditions.
Create Multiple Teams
For important matches, consider creating multiple teams with different combinations to increase your chances of winning across various contests.
Play Responsibly
Set a budget for contests and stick to it. Fantasy cricket should be fun and engaging, not financially stressful.
