Your captain earns double points — but are you playing it too safe? Learn when to take calculated risks and when to go with the crowd.
Fantasy winners know when to go bold. Avoid the obvious choices when they face bowling-friendly conditions. Instead, target in-form players with high strike rates or bowlers with favorable matchups. Your multiplier can make or break your contest.
The best teams aren’t built on just stars. Discover how to pick utility players that deliver high-value performances quietly.
Look for finishers, swing bowlers in day games, or uncapped players in favorable positions. These under-the-radar picks are often low-owned but high-reward, giving your team a unique edge and pushing you above the crowd in big leagues.
From fantasy tactics to real match analysis, dive into our curated cricket content written by players, for players.
Your fantasy fate often hinges on one pick — the multiplier. Here’s when to go bold with differential captains vs play-it-safe favorites.
Choosing between a captain and vice-captain may seem simple, but strategic players know it's where games are won or lost. Want to win big in mega contests? Your captain should rarely be the same as 80% of the crowd. Go with recent form, match-up potential, and playing conditions. A bowler on a swing-friendly pitch? That’s your edge. A batting finisher when chasing low totals? Think again. Analyze. Predict. Rule.
It’s easy to pick players with a 50+ average in recent games. But what about match-up stats, ground size, and pressure moments? We explain how to go deeper.
Fantasy winners don't just look at recent form — they break down the “why.” A batter averaging 70 may have played all on flat tracks. A bowler with a hat trick may not suit the next venue. Consider pitch type, historical venue stats, opponent strengths, and pressure performance. Smart fantasy teams look like a puzzle solved, not a star parade.

Not all players with the same stats play the same role. Understand how roles like anchor, finisher, or powerplay bowler affect points.
Two batters may score the same runs, but the one who accelerates under pressure adds more value in fantasy formats. Anchors build innings but often strike at low rates. Finishers score fewer runs but at high strike rates with boundary bonuses. Powerplay bowlers offer wicket chances early, while death bowlers fetch dot ball points and breakthroughs. Study roles — not just averages.
Some batters struggle against specific bowlers. Some bowlers never dismiss certain players. Here’s how head-to-head data can win contests.
If a batter has a strike rate of 50 against a certain bowler across 8 games, avoid them in fantasy when that bowler is in the XI. Conversely, some batters dominate certain teams or venues. Use head-to-head stats like a cheat code — these matchups are often more predictive than overall form. SixerZone’s app will soon include this insight per player card.
Some stars attract millions of fantasy picks but rarely deliver consistent returns. Learn to spot fantasy hype vs fantasy value.
Just because a player is a fan favorite doesn’t mean they score fantasy points. Some players are media darlings but bat too low or bowl too few overs to matter. Study their role in recent games, points-per-match average, and utilization rate. Blindly picking big names is the easiest way to lose fantasy contests.
What works in a 100K player league doesn’t always apply to private 2-person matches. Here's how to switch strategies.
In large public leagues, the goal is uniqueness and upside. In 2-player private contests, it’s about consistency and safety. That means picking predictable performers in head-to-heads, and going bold with risky captain choices in grand leagues. Context is everything. Adapt your approach depending on who — and how many — you’re playing against.
