- 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: 3–5 Batters, 2-4 All-rounders, 3–5 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.
✅ Points System
| Action | Points Awarded |

| Batting Points | |
| Runs Scored | 1 per run |
| 50+ Runs Bonus | +10 |
| 100+ Runs Bonus | +20 |
| Boundary Bonus | +3 for a six, +2 for a four |
| Out for a duck | -5 |
| Bowling Points | |
| Wickets taken | 10 per wicket |
| 3+ Wickets Bonus | +15 |
| 5+ Wickets Bonus | +20 |
| Maiden overs | +5 |
| 8+ average (minimum 3 overs) | -5 |
| Fielding Points | |
| Catch Taken | 6 per catch |
| Stumping/Run-Out | 8 per dismissal |
✅The way of participating
So, you have to do a small thing.
You have to predict the team, and submit as a comment on this post or as a separate post. (if it's a separate post, comment the link here)
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.
✅ Rules
Just follow the guidelines and make your team.
Resteem this post, and mention your friends to promote the event.
Participants must submit your teams before the first ball. You guys can edit the team combination until that time, even considering the toss, and team news. I will check it with the Steemworld.
For the first match I gave a small time to edit just after starting the match, as people are getting used to it, but not from the next one.
✅ Winners Criteria & Prizes
So, the total team points for each entry will be separately calculated. 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 the 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.
Let me know if you have any suggestions or additions!
Next match update will be shared 12-24 hours before starting 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 copy-pasting others' entries just to win a prize.
Let's have some fun boys! Start building your team
So, that's it for today!! Until the next time! Enjoy!

Wow congratulations to all of you guys 🎉
Tough selection when you don't know the faces from both of side but my focus is on India's top batters because of their proven track record. Bangladesh’s squad has many new faces, making predictions tricky . However, the toss will play a crucial role as always because it matter a lot special for indian batters , if India bats first, my choices look strong. If Bangladesh bats first, I might tweak a few selections. Let’s see how it unfolds!
Final Squad Selection:
🔥 Game Plan: Relying on India's strong batting lineup while keeping a good mix of all-rounders . The toss will play a big role in my final selection.
Let’s see how this team performs!

It is always a tough test for Bangladesh against India but the matches are good competition. Let's see how well the players in my opinion can play.
I am hopeful that he will be in the playing XI and it will be an enjoyable match. You @abdullahw2 @memamun @khursheedanwar can make a team if you want.

Oh that's looking good. Next time I should set an alarm just before the game to update my team 😅 Two games, two players not playing! that's a big disadvantage for me. Today I'm surprised that BAN didn't play Nahid Rana. See you tomorrow.
Mmm.... Once again out of the box, without the two big players! Nice... Soumya Sarkar is a batter, no issue btw.
I am thinking of giving a 1.2 multiplier for the total points if you predict the winners right. Maybe from the next match, to make it more interesting!
Entry 03
Definitely! that will add some spice to the contest.
No Varun Chakravarthy (Baller) in the team, can I replace him with Kuldeep Yadav. He hasn't bowled yet.
You guys are killing me... 😅😅 Yeah yeah, go ahead, will give it a chance as nothing happened!
You nailed it. Give me a headache.
Waiting for the score update! 😃 The competition has just begun, so don't take the pressure yet.
Leaderboard updated!
Haha. Hmm..
Well, it is the second match of ICC Champions trophy between India and Bangladesh. Being a cricket lover, I'm also very excited about that as they both are my favourite teams. So, for today's match, my team will be the consists of following players:
