How fixtures map to contests
Every fixture on the desk corresponds to one or more contests on the Gamezy app. The match format determines the points table, the salary cap and the captaincy multiplier. The desk's role is to publish the editorial context — match preview, pitch report, player form — that helps you build a smarter team inside the contest.

What we're watching this week
The headline fixture is India vs Australia in Dubai — a black-soil strip with a touch of grass. The dew factor in the second innings is the swing variable: bowl-first captains may want to chase, and the differential pick is the wrist-spinner who holds his line in the second innings.
The Asia Cup match in Sharjah is a flat-batting surface and the captaincy case points to an in-form opener rather than a death-overs hitter. The domestic fixtures give a useful form lab for players who may be called up for the international squads — keep an eye on the second-tier seamers and the spin all-rounders.
Today's predictions
Fixtures & contests, answered
Where does the fixture list come from?
The desk curates the list from publicly available schedules. Always confirm fixture status, toss times and squad announcements on the official platform before lock-in.
Why does the desk list a fixture but not a contest?
Contests are hosted on the Gamezy app. The desk publishes editorial context — fixtures, head-to-head, pitch reports — for the contests you choose to enter.
Do fixtures ever change?
Yes. Weather, broadcast rights and team logistics can shift fixture dates and venues. The desk updates the list when changes are announced; the official app always has the live fixture card.
