Fantasy cricket is a game where you assemble a squad from real players in a real match, and your points come from their on-field actions: runs, wickets, catches, and other scoring events.
This pillar guide covers everything a beginner needs — rules, points, strategy, and safety. It’s the starting point for your fantasy cricket journey on Come11 Sport.
What Is Fantasy Cricket?

The Basic Rules
- Pick 11 players from the real match squad
- Assign a captain (2x points) and vice-captain (1.5x)
- Join a contest
- Earn points from real match actions

Strategy for Beginners
- Start with low-entry contests
