- Please remember that I have taken the latest update of the squads. Anyhow, you have the chance to edit the team combination until the first ball, even considering the toss, and team news.
✅ Team Combination
- 11 players per team
- A balanced squad: 3–5 Batters, 2-4 All-rounders, 3–5 Bowlers, 1 Wicketkeeper
- Choose a Captain (2x points) and Vice-Captain (1.5x points)
The wicketkeeper should be one of the real wicketkeepers from any team. You can choose the remaining wicket-keeper as a general player but his stumping points will not be added.
No need to choose a real captain or vice-captain, so you can choose any player for these two positions to maximize your points.
Please remember that the batting points for ballers, as well as balling points for a batter, will also be calculated.
✅ Points System
| Action | Points Awarded |
|---|---|
| Batting Points | |
| Runs Scored | 1 per run |
| 50+ Runs Bonus | +10 |
| 100+ Runs Bonus | +20 |
| Boundary Bonus | +3 for a six, +2 for a four |
| Out for a duck | -5 |
| Bowling Points | |
| Wickets taken | 10 per wicket |
| 3+ Wickets Bonus | +15 |
| 5+ Wickets Bonus | +20 |
| Maiden overs | +5 |
| 8+ average (minimum 3 overs) | -5 |
| Fielding Points | |
| Catch Taken | 6 per catch |
| Stumping/Run-Out | 8 per dismissal |
- New Update: Now you can predict the winning team of the match as well. If you are right, the total points will be multiplied by 1.1 factor.
✅The way of participating
So, you have to do a small thing.
You have to predict the team, and submit as a comment on this post or as a separate post. (if it's a separate post, comment the link here)
In the post or comment, you have to mention the team, their positions (whether baller/ batter, etc) according to the guidelines in the Team Combination section.
✅ Rules
Just follow the guidelines and make your team.
Resteem this post, and mention your friends to promote the event.
Participants must submit your teams before the first ball. You guys can edit the team combination until that time, even considering the toss, and team news. I will check it with the Steemworld.
For the first match I gave a small time to edit just after starting the match, as people are getting used to it, but not from the next one.
✅ Winners Criteria & Prizes
So, the total team points for each entry will be separately calculated. Yeah, I know it will be a very busy week for me. I have already made the format.
There will be two types of winners.
- Daily Winners: Top three Highest scorers of the day (10 Steem will be shared per the day)
- Overall Tournament Winner: Top three Highest scorers across all matches (prizes will be announced later)
The prize pool will indeed be increased with the level of excitement and support from you guys!
Points and winners will be updated daily, and so will the prizes.
There will be no separate post for announcing the winners, (as there will be so many posts.) I will announce the winners as a comment in this post a few hours after the match.
Let me know if you have any suggestions or additions!
Next match update will be shared 12-24 hours before starting of the match
PS: This contest is exclusively for genuine Cricket lovers! As you can see I have to put a lot of effort into calculating the points, and so on. So, I hope you guys will do me the favor without copy-pasting others' entries just to win a prize.
Let's have some fun boys! Start building your team
So, that's it for today!! Until the next time! Enjoy!

Win: NZ
Given the recent quality performance of NZ, I’m going very heavy NZ side for my 11 today. Also, since they chase I believe they will hunt down any target set by BAN.

Loos like we have a winner!
But I still have a huge gap to fill after Ind vs Pak game.
This match is not easy to predict but I will make few changes depending on the toss and the sides batting first. I can only say, the pitch of this venue is not the same as it used to be pacer friendly in the past.

Captain- Devon Conway
Vice Cap- Kane Williamson
Winning Team- NZ
I am hopeless about Bangladeshi bowlers. I don’t think NZ all-rounders will get a chance to bat. That's why I am not picking them. Anyway, @damithudaya, I think having 3 all-rounders and 2 bowlers is OK. Because I have 5 bowlers. If not, then I will go for Mahmudullah > Rishad Hossain. If OK, then I am stuck with this.
I think you'll need to do Mahmudullah > Rishad Hossain.
Your team has started well.
It feels like I have to go back to the 2000s.
I thought you looked good until the 1st wicket fell although I suppose the run rate was never really there.
Our turn tomorrow!
Up to now, it needs 3 genuine ballers according to the guidelines. So, I'll go with Mahmudullah > Rishad Hossain. But from the next match, I will change this combination, so you guys have more freedom in picking the team!

Once again, a good team. But did you miss the new contest? Sorry to see that!
Which one you are talking about? If you are talking about the SA-AUS match, I am waiting for the TOSS. Hahaha.
