🏏 Asia Cup 2025 Fantasy Contest - XiX (The Big Final) - (India vs Pakistan) - Play, Predict & Win

Hello, Hello Cricket fans,

The wait is finally over! We are just one game away from the Asia Cup 2025. For the first time in history, we can witness an India-Pakistan clash in an Asia Cup final.

I was with you for 18 games so far, for almost three weeks with the 🏏 Asia Cup 2025 Fantasy Contest. I know the number of consistent participants in this time was low, but still, it was an exciting event. So, let's face the grand finale.

---

Contest Overview

---

I think most of you are familiar with this concept. Just like our Champions Trophy contest, this is simple yet exciting. There will be 19 matches, at least one per day.

• For each match, you have to create your Fantasy XI by combining players from both teams.
• The trick is you should predict the combination that will perform the best in that match.
• Points will be calculated according to the performance of your selected players.

You can see the full details in my last announcement post.

The squads

• 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: 2–6 Batters, 1-5 All-rounders, 2–6 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.

---

---

✅ Rules

✅ Winners Criteria & Prizes

---

Therefore, the total team points for each entry will be calculated separately. 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 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.

Special thanks to @disconnect for supporting the contest prize with 50 Steem.

Let me know if you have any suggestions or additions!

Next match update will be shared 12-24 hours before the start 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 copying and pasting others' entries just to win a prize.

Let’s make the Asia Cup even more exciting together!
