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.

---

So, you have to do a small thing.

• In the post or comment, you have to mention the team, their positions (whether baller/ batter, etc) according to the guidelines in the Team Combination section, and the winning team.

---

✅ Rules

---

• Just follow the guidelines and make your team.

✅ 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!
