How to play fantasy cricket — beginner's guide
A beginner's guide to fantasy cricket on the Gamezy app. Pick a match, build an XI within the salary cap, pick a captain and vice-captain, lock in before the toss.
Pick a match
Open the app and pick a fixture from the match list. The desk curates the upcoming fixtures on the matches page; the app has the full list and the contest types for each fixture.
Build your XI
Pick eleven players within the salary cap. The app surfaces player form, recent scores, and role-specific splits. The desk's selection strategy is on the fantasy tips page.
Pick captain and vice-captain
Captain earns 2× points, vice-captain earns 1.5×. The captaincy decision is the single highest-leverage call in fantasy cricket. The desk's captaincy logic (safe + differential pair) is on the fantasy tips page.
Lock in
Lock-in closes before the toss. After lock-in, the app tracks the live score and settles the contest after the match. For withdrawals, see the wallet and KYC page.
