If you’re looking to boost your chances in fantasy cricket? Our Today IPL Dream11 Prediction provides expert tips, player insights, and match previews to help you build a winning Dream11 team. But if you’re new to Dream11 and don’t know how it works, let’s understand it first.

What is Dream11?

But before the game commences, fans can play fantasy cricket in Dream11 by visiting the app on their phones. Dream11 is a fantasy platform where viewers can make their teams and earn money through the app.

Before the game starts, people can log in or create new accounts, select players with a certain credit, and then wait for the game to start. In this article, we will discuss step-by-step the creation of the fantasy team in the Dream11 app.

How to play fantasy cricket in Dream 11?

Step 1: Users can download the app from the Play Store or Apple Store. Then, they can create an account on the app using their email ID or phone number.

Step 2: People can select the match they want to play and make a playing XI of their own with combined players from both teams. They will get 100 credits to pick up players. The users are supposed to make a team with the given credits and nothing beyond that.

Making a team isn’t as easy as it sounds. Fans will have to check the credit, the players’ forms, and the way they have performed in the past. The fantasy points are also divided in a certain manner.

Step 3: After selecting the players, users will have to select their captains and vice-captains. Here, they have to keep in mind that they can select anyone as their captain and vice-captain, but a lot of thought has to go into this. The reason behind this is that these two players will get extra points as compared to the others.

Step 4: You can save the team for the game. Also, the users can create 4-5 teams at the same time and put their money on them. They can also play free matches at the start to get the hang of how the game works, and then later, they can put their money at risk.

What are the Dream11 fantasy points?

Fantasy points are the points that are earned by a certain player during the real game. Each score or wicket is assigned some points which a play earns. For instance, there are points for singles, doubles, boundaries, maximums, wickets, and centuries. The players get these points during the game, and the users benefit from them if they pick up the right players.

How to play Dream11 and earn money?

In Dream11 contests, you compete against just one other player. Your goal is to score more points than your opponent and win the entire prize pool.

Dream11 Mega League contests involve a large number of participants who pay an entry fee to join.

The total prize pool is distributed among the top performers. While the chances of winning are lower due to the high competition, having a well-planned team increases your chances of finishing in the top ranks and earning rewards.

How many times can I edit teams?

The fantasy teams can be edited multiple times before the commencement of the game. Once the game starts, the edit option will be closed and the users will have to play with the same playing XI they had chosen earlier.

Users get around 30 minutes from the toss to the match to make changes to their playing XI at the last minute. This is to make the contest fair and interesting because the franchises make changes to their teams quite frequently.

Tips For Choosing Captain and Vice Captain in Dream11

Keep track of the pitch beforehand. Pitch plays an important role in a player’s performance. You can choose the entire team based on the pitch if you like. If it’s a bowling-friendly pitch, you can keep a lot of bowlers from both teams and vice versa.
Now, choose the captain and vice-captain as per the pitch demands. As mentioned above, if it’s a bowling pitch, try to make a bowler your captain, as he will get more points.
Also, research well before choosing your team. Keep an eye on the statistics and the scores in the previous games as well. That will give you a fair idea about whom you should choose for your team.
Have a balanced team. Keep the right amount of batters, bowlers, and all-rounders. This will increase your chances of getting points in the second innings.

Types of Contests

There are two types of contests: Mega Leagues and Head-to-Heads. Check out the article to learn more about both types of contests.

Mega League: Mega League is a contest where many people can enter at the same time. The entry money, as well as the prize money, is more in the contest. The prize money is then shared with the participants. Users can earn up to INR 12 crores in mega leagues by investing just INR 39-49.

Head to Head: Head-to-head is basically a contest where the users will play against one person. The entry fee will be as low as INR 15, and in return, you can win around INR 25. This is interesting because the completion is lower, and the scope of making mistakes is also low. People who just want to play for entertainment purposes can go for H2H.
