Pro Tips & Strategies

1. Research is Key

Study player form, pitch conditions, weather, and head-to-head statistics before selecting your team.

2. Balance Your Team

Don't load your team with batsmen or bowlers only. A balanced team with good all-rounders performs better.

3. Captain Selection Matters

Your captain gets 2x points, so choose a player likely to perform well. Consider in-form batsmen or strike bowlers.

4. Watch the Toss

You can edit your team until the match starts. After the toss, adjust your team based on who's batting/bowling first.

5. Create Multiple Teams

You can create up to 6 different teams for the same match. Try different combinations and strategies.

6. Join Private Leagues

Compete with friends who have similar cricket knowledge for a more balanced competition.
