The Bowlers you select, should bowl 20 overs or take 10 wickets ,
while giving less runs than your Batsmen have scored ! (In ODI Matches 50 Overs Apply)

ODI (50 Over Match) Example

Your batsmen score a total of 265 runs in 50 overs, if your bowlers take 10 wickets or bowl 50 overs and give less than 265 runs, you win your Fantasy Cricket Match^TM
The same logic as winning a real cricket match but you get to pick the players, assign their orders, beat other users and win cash!

Batting Order Rules & Strategy

ODI (50 Over Match) Example

In the example on the right, notice Afridi has scored 100 runs of 50 balls, but in the fantasy column only 20 runs are counted, this is because the batsmen above him in the assigned batting order have played 290 balls, leaving Afridi to face only 10 balls out of the available 300 balls in a 50 Over game!!
Using his strike rate in this innings we know he would score 20 runs in 10 balls.
So most of Afridi's great innings has gone to waste for this fantasy team, had he been assigned a higher batting order say in place of Angleo Matthews all his runs would have counted and the fantasy team would have scored much more than 240 in the 50 overs.
Also notice Sangakkara, Johnson and Murali's scores are being ignored this is because 50 overs have already been played by the batsmen above so there are no balls left in this fantasy match for these players to bat!!
So think before assigning your batting order!!

Bowling Order Rules & Strategy

ODI (50 Over Match) Example

In this example on the right, notice Murali's live match figures are 8 overs for 30 runs taking 4 wickets, but his figures in the fantasy match are 4 overs for 15 runs with 2 wickets.This is becuase the players above him have taken 8 wickets so only 2 are needed from Murali to get the opposition All Out!!
Also notice Suresh Raina's expensive bowling figures are being ignored as 10 wickets have already been taken by the players above him so the 'opposition' score will not include the runs conceded by Raina as they are All Out!
This has resulted in a modest 190/10 in 40 overs for the 'fantasy' opposition.Had Raina been assigned a bowling order above Murali, his runs conceded would have been added to the fantasy opposition score.So think before assigning your bowling order!!

TIP: Remember you can get wickets through run outs too and keepers are the mostly likely players to remove the bails those of you with a keen eye may have noticed Sangakkara's figures on the right
