Fantasy Cricket Strategy Tips
- • Pick 3-4 players from the team batting first (higher run opportunities)
- • Wicket-keepers score stumpings and catches — always include one premium keeper
- • Death bowlers (overs 17-20) concede runs but take wickets — both matter for economy vs. wickets
- • Check toss and pitch report — flat pitches favor batsmen, sticky wickets favor spinners
