Fantasy Cricket

Introduction to Cricket

Cricket is one of the world's most popular sports, known for its rich history, strategic depth, and thrilling competition. Played between two teams, the game combines physical skill with tactical acumen. For fantasy sports enthusiasts, cricket offers an exciting arena where fans can engage more deeply with the game by creating their own fantasy teams, scoring points based on the real performances of players in ongoing matches.

The Format of the Game

Cricket can be played in various formats, mainly:

1. Test Cricket: Played over five days, each team bats twice. Test matches are the traditional format and are considered a test of skill and endurance.

2. One Day Internationals (ODIs): Each team plays a fixed number of overs, usually 50. Matches typically last about eight hours and are generally more fast-paced than Test matches.

3. T20 Internationals: The shortest format, where each team faces 20 overs. Games are completed within three hours, making them action-packed and usually high-scoring.

Basic Rules of Cricket

1. Team Composition: Each cricket team consists of 11 players. Teams generally have a mix of batsmen, bowlers, and all-rounders.

2. Scoring Runs: Runs can be scored in several ways:

• By running between the wickets after hitting the ball.
• Boundaries: Hitting the ball out of the playing field boundaries gives:
  1. 4 runs if it touches the ground before crossing the boundary.
  2. 6 runs if it crosses the boundary in the air without touching the ground.

3. Dismissals: The batting team seeks to score runs while the bowling team aims to dismiss the batsmen. Common ways a player can be dismissed include:

• Bowled: The ball is bowled and hits the stumps.
• Caught: The ball hit by the batsman is caught by a fielder without bouncing.
• Leg Before Wicket (LBW): A batsman is out if a ball hitting their leg would have gone on to hit the stumps.
• Run Out: A batsman fails to make it to the crease before the fielding team breaks the stumps with the ball.

4. Overs: An over consists of six legal deliveries bowled by a bowler. The maximum number of overs in each format is:

• Test: Unlimited (both innings until all players are out or the time is up).
• ODI: 50 overs per team.
• T20: 20 overs per team.
