- 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 |
- New Update: Now you can predict the winning team of the match as well. If you are right, the total points will be multiplied by 1.1 factor.
✅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!

Well, the high voltage match of ICC champions trophy 2025 is around the corner as the match will be played between the two arch rivals India and Pakistan. The match will be played in Dubai international stadium. Both the teams are looking strong but one team will win and the other will lose because this is the cricket. Anyway, my team for that match will be consists of following players:
0.00 SBD,
0.14 STEEM,
0.14 SP
It's good to have you back! Pretty good combination! Thanks for the participation! Good Luck!

Win: PAK
I just have a gut feeling that PAK will find a way to win this match, I mean by hook or by crook! The pitch will be crucial to watch. For PAK, this is about more than just cricket, but IND will also give it everything they’ve got.
0.00 SBD,
0.00 STEEM,

I guess, according to the rules, you need to add another bowler to your team bro!
Oh is that so, if it is a thing, then since India haven't bat yet I will remove Indian batter and add PAK bowler,
Shreyas Iyer (Out) -->> Naseem Shah(In)
tHANKS FRIEND FOR THE HELP!
Oooo ho... Another risky prediction. Wonder whether it is a spinning pitch, after the Pak batted. Thanks for the participation! Good Luck!
Entry 03
PAK just gave it away with their defending mind set. Better luck for me next time 😂
Same feeling with me. Why aren't they attacking at least in the powerplay/ death overs. Bumrah is also not available. This cost them the last match too,
The pressure of playing in front of their home crowd after so long is probably making them hesitant. They’re almost out of the tournament already... how unfortunate! I hope at least KL Rahul (my captain) would get a chance to bat today. I expected PAK to win the toss and score 300+ all of my prediction went wrong today.
This match is being played at a neutral venue, remember?
Here, Salman Agha is an all-rounder. So, no problem with your selections

ICC Champions Trophy 2025 5th Match India vs. Pakistan.
Pakistan will have to be very dedicated to win today's match. If the top order is good, it can go in their favour but without Fakhar Zaman, it will be a pressure for Pakistan. I want to enjoy the game and keep playing till the last over. My team may change a little after seeing the playing XI announced.

As per the law of averages I am not so sure but being an Indian and keeping in the past records in mind, I hope India does better. This venue is neutral therefore there is no home advantage for any of these teams so even if I feel any side can win I am giving India a 52-48 advantage.
