Fantasy cricket team apps let you experience the thrill of cricket in a whole new way. Here’s how it works:
- Build your team: You’re given a virtual budget to select players from upcoming real-world matches. There will be restrictions on how many players you can pick from each team participating in the real match.
- Test your skills: You use your cricket knowledge to pick players you think will perform well based on their batting, bowling, fielding, etc.
- Points galore: As the real match unfolds, you earn fantasy points based on your players’ performances – runs scored, wickets taken, catches made, etc.
- Compete and win: You can join contests with other users and the one with the most fantasy points at the end wins the pot, which could include real money in some cases.
These apps offer a fun and engaging way to:
- Deepen your cricket knowledge: By researching players and analyzing their strengths and weaknesses, you become a more informed cricket fan.
- Test your cricketing instincts: Can you predict which bowler will take the most wickets or which batsman will score the most runs?
- Add excitement to real matches: The real-life drama of the match becomes even more thrilling when you have a team riding on it.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
- While skill is involved in picking your team, there’s also an element of luck, so don’t get discouraged if you don’t win every time.
- There can be real money transactions involved in some contests, so make sure you understand the risks and play responsibly.
- Many apps offer free-to-play options to test the waters before diving into paid contests.
