Paid rooms are for adults. You need to be 18 or older.

Three steps, in that order

Entries go wrong in the minutes before a lock because the first click is a famous name. Someone pins a captain, then hunts for ten other players who can sit around that name, then notices the room they wanted has no spots left, then notices the pitch line, if the app is even showing one, does not suit the bowlers they grabbed. The repair is the order, not a faster thumb.

Match first, because a tidy eleven on the wrong fixture is still the wrong fixture. Eleven second, because a captain title does nothing for a side the create-team screen will not save. Join third, and only in a room whose lock and spots you have already read. Captain and vice-captain sit inside the second step. They are the last names you assign, after the eleven is coherent and after the bulletin has told you, as far as it can, that those two people are taking the field.

The same evening can hold more than one match. A league game and an international on the same night do not share a pitch, a squad, or a lock. Open the fixture you mean to enter. A thumbnail of a star is not a fixture. If you cannot say which two sides are playing, you are not ready for the role tabs.

Pick a match you can still enter

A match on the list is not yet a plan. Check who plays: both sides, and the format. A bowler’s job in a T20 is not the job in a one-day game, and neither is the job across a full day of a Test. An all-rounder who bowls four overs in a T20 may bowl a long spell in a one-day game and may not bowl at all on the first morning of a Test. Recent role has to be read inside the format you are actually entering.

Check the ground. The same batter meets a different outfield and a different surface a week later. A short straight boundary and a wide outfield ask different questions of the same bowling group. Check the start time printed on the fixture, then check the lock timer on the contest you will actually enter. Those two clocks are not the same object. A broadcast that begins at 7:30 pm can sit beside a contest that locks earlier, because the room closes when that contest says it closes, not when the commentary starts. If you only watch the television clock, you will try to edit after the entry has frozen.

Spots are the other gate. A room with no seats left is full. The match is not cancelled, and it has not been moved. One fixture can carry many rooms. A closed room is a closed door on that contest only. You look for another room on the same match, or you stop. Treating “full” as “abandoned” sends people hunting for a news alert that will not arrive. Check spots again in the last moment before you join. A room can fill while you are still comparing bowlers.

The long version of this check, including form, the pitch line, team news, and the decision to skip, is on the pick a match page. A finished result of that page is often “not this one”.

Build the playing eleven

The playing 11 is eleven players from the squads in that fixture, chosen on the create-team screen. A sample of that screen groups players with role tabs labelled WK, BAT, AR, and BOWL. Those are labels a cricket create-team screen can show. Use the tabs in front of you. Walk each one. Do not paste an eleven from a chat and hope the tabs agree.

The tab is a label, not a full description of the job. A keeper who bats at seven is not the same pick as a keeper who opens, even though both can sit under WK. An all-rounder who bowls two overs of fill-in spin is not the same pick as an all-rounder who bats in the top six and bowls four. BOWL will hold a new-ball bowler and a death bowler side by side. They do not offer you the same overs. Recent role means the slot in recent matches, not a highlight from a previous season and not one viral inning on a flat pitch.

Balance is not a secret formula, and this page will not fake one with a scoring chart. You want a way for the eleven to score if the top order gets through the powerplay, a way to score if early wickets fall, and bowling that matches the phase that ground tends to reward. If the app shows a surface note, read it before you fill BOWL. The match page gives an example of the sort of note a layout can carry, and that example is not this fixture. The game you opened can print a different note, or print nothing. Do not paste the previous match’s wording onto this one.

When the create-team screen prints a budget line, keep the eleven under that line. A save that stops is telling you a required seat is empty, or that another limit on this contest has been crossed. Change the name the message names. A budget remembered from a different product will not unlock the button. Too many players from one real side is a frequent stop. A role tab you never opened is another. How titles are scored stays on the contest card. This page does not reprint that scoring. The playing 11 guide is where a blocked save is read without inventing a budget.

Large rooms and small rooms do not ask the same question of the same eleven. In a crowded contest, an uncommon selection helps only when you can point at the job, the ground, or the selection bulletin that makes the selection live. Against one opponent, or in a short list of teams, take the player who is named in the announced side and whose batting or bowling slot you can describe. Beating a single rival does not require a surprise pick. That split is written out on the playing 11 page, with the mistakes that follow from rushing it.

Set the two titles, then join

Captain and vice-captain are the last act of the eleven, still inside the second step, still before you join. Judge both by the job in this match and by whether the player will walk out, rather than by reputation. A celebrated batter whose place is still uncertain is a poor chair, because a title left on the bench cannot face a ball. The second title should cover a different failure. If the chair is an opener, the cover should not be another opener who can fall in the same over. A player who bats and bowls can wear the chair when this match still gives that player a batting slot and a real spell, and the sheet includes them.

Wait for the playing XI if the lock gives you time. Naming the captain before that announcement is how a doubtful star ends up wearing a title you cannot take back. If the lock is too close for you to see the XI, that is a reason to stop, not a reason to hurry a famous name into the chair. The captain page stays on this choice: certainty, the hedge, all-rounders, and what an edit can still do.

Joining is the third step. You enter a contest whose spots and lock you have already accepted. If that room prints how many teams you may submit, the printed number is the limit for that room. This site will not invent a count, and a count printed on another card of that fixture is not yours to borrow. A second eleven is worth submitting only when the room allows it and the second side is a genuine alternative: different bowlers if the surface might take spin, or a different middle order if the team news is split. Swapping the captain on an otherwise identical eleven is not a second opinion.

While the room is still open you can change a name or either title, and that change rewrites the entry you already hold. The rewrite keeps you in that contest. Once the room closes, the saved eleven is finished. If the announced side omits one of your names and the room is still open, swap in a player who is on the sheet and recheck the counters. If the room has already closed, leave that entry as it was saved. The timer reaching zero does not grow a spare minute, and a different room that is still open does not revive the one that closed.

When to stop

Three honest reasons to leave without joining. The team news is bad: a regular is resting or doubtful and you cannot see who takes the job, so any captain you name is a guess wearing a famous shirt. The room has no spots, and the other rooms on that match are not ones you want. The lock is too close for you to read the pitch, the ground, and the playing XI. A side built in that rush is usually last season’s memory, an empty role tab, or a public eleven you never checked against this pitch.

Stopping is a result. The match does not need your entry in order to be played. Write the reason in one sentence before you close the screen, so you do not drift back four minutes later and join a room you already decided against. If the reason was “I have not seen the XI”, do not solve it by copying names from a picture on this website. The sample create-team screen on the playing 11 page shows a layout. It is not today’s match.

A calmer path, when the news is clear and the clock allows it, looks like this. Open one fixture and note both sides, the format, the ground, and the start. Open the room you might enter and note its lock and whether spots remain. Read who is resting or doubtful. Build eleven names across the role tabs the screen offers. Stay inside any credit total the screen prints. Save only when the counters allow it. Set captain and vice-captain last, on players you expect to take the field. Join. If the XI appears while the room is still unlocked, edit the entry. Do not start a second copy out of panic. The first entry is still yours until the lock.

Three screens, three jobs

A match list, a contest card, and a create-team screen are not the same page in different colours. Each one is allowed to tell you a different fact. A careful eleven still dies when a fact is read off the wrong screen.

What each screen is allowed to tell you. If you cannot point at the screen, you do not have the fact yet.

The fee, if the card shows one, is also a fact of that card. Read it before you build. A different room on the same match can show a different fee, a different lock, and a different limit on how many teams you may submit. This page will not print a fee, a team cap, or a captain multiplier for you. The contest you open is the only place those figures are real.

The only clock that closes the edit

The listed start and the lock are different clocks. The playing XI is a third event, and it may arrive before the lock, after the lock, or not in time for you to use it. Four combinations cover the evening. You do not need a fifth story.

1. The XI is out and the room is still unlocked. Build from that sheet. A player who is absent does not wear a title. Prefer the player who took the role over the famous name that was left out.
2. The XI is not out, and the lock is far enough that you can still wait. Build from recent role in this format. Leave the two titles until the sheet, or until you accept that you are naming them under doubt. Doubt is tolerable for a bowler who has bowled the same phase in recent games and is not the subject of a rest report. It is a poor moment to hand the chair to a celebrated batter the sheet has not confirmed.
3. The XI is not out, and the lock is too close for you to read the ground, the news, and the role tabs with the counters in front of you. Do not join. A side finished in that window is usually last season’s memory, or a list you pasted.
4. The lock has already passed. That room is finished. Another room on the same match is a new card, with its own spots and its own lock. It does not reopen the room that closed, and it does not edit an entry you already hold there.

If your room locks before the toss, you will not see who bowls first. Do not leave a blank place “for the coin”. If the room locks after the toss, you may learn which side bowls first, and you can still change a player or a title only while that lock remains open. The broadcast starting later does not add a minute.

One evening, walked once

The pass below is a decision order. It is not a match that was played, it has no score, and it is not an eleven to copy. Where your screen disagrees with a detail, follow your screen.

The list shows a T20 and a one-day game on the same night. You open the T20, because that is the format you can describe. You do not start an eleven from the one-day squad while the app happens to be open. A bowler’s spell is not the same length in those two games, and the locks will not match. An all-rounder who bowls four overs in the T20 may bowl a long spell in the one-day game. Recent role has to be read inside the game you actually opened.

On the T20 fixture you take four facts before any player: both sides, the format, the ground, and the printed start. If one of those is missing, you are not on a fixture yet.

You then open one room on that match. It still shows spots. Its lock sits earlier than the printed start, so the lock is the deadline. You do not open a second room yet. Two cards at once is how an eleven gets pasted into a contest with a different team limit.

The news you can actually read says three things. One opener is doubtful. The keeper is named. The bowler who bowled the death in the last two games of this format is not the subject of a rest report. You will not put the doubtful opener in a title. If another top-order batter is fit and has the slot, you can leave the doubtful opener out. “Might play” is not a top-order plan when a fit alternative exists.

Fill the tabs in that order

On WK, take the keeper whose recent batting slot you can name. If that keeper has been batting down the order in this format, you are not also picking a second keeper to cover the new ball. The tab is not a request for two keepers. If the counter later shows the keeper role empty and blocks the save, you fill what it asks. You do not add an extra keeper because a chat said sides look better that way.

On BAT, take two players who have a top-order slot and are not the doubtful opener, plus one batter who has been in the middle order. The middle-order name exists so an early wicket still has someone who faces balls. Four openers do not all face the new ball. Do not fill the rest of the tab with late-order names who have spent recent games below the top seven.

On AR, take one player who has both batted in the upper order and bowled a proper spell in recent games of this format. If the real side has stopped giving that player the ball, count a batter, not a bowling plan. Do not mark a title while this tab is still open.

On BOWL, split the phases before you settle on a quick. One bowler for the new ball. One bowler who has actually bowled the death, not a famous quick who has been used earlier. One option for the middle overs. If the ground, or a pitch line the app is showing for this match, has been giving those overs to spin, the middle option can be a spinner who has bowled them. If no pitch line is shown, you still do not pick four death bowlers. The middle overs are a hole when everyone you chose wants the same overs at the end. A batting-friendly line, when one is shown, is not permission to empty the bowling tab. A contest that requires bowling will not treat a side with no bowlers as finished.

If a budget line is printed on that screen, keep the eleven under the line. If the screen stops you from adding another player from the same real side, remove one name from that side and take a player from the other XI who covers a phase you still lack. Do not look for a higher cap. This page does not have one to give you.

Titles, then the join

Set the titles only after that eleven can be saved, and only on players who pass the news you have. Captain: the death bowler, if that bowler is free of a doubtful tag and the death is the recent job. Not the doubtful opener. Vice-captain: the middle-order batter, so a quiet night with the ball still has someone who faces balls. Not the other opener from the same top three, who can fail in the same over as the player you already refused to trust.

If the death bowler is the player the reports will not confirm, move the captain title to the middle-order batter. Choose a vice-captain whose job is different, such as the new-ball bowler who is actually in the side. Two titles on two versions of the same bet are one bet said twice.

Join the room you already checked. If the playing XI arrives while that lock is still open and drops your spinner, replace the spinner with a bowler who is on the sheet and still covers a phase, then look at the titles again. Do not create a second entry because you are annoyed. A second entry exists only when that room prints a number higher than the entries you already hold, and only when the second eleven is a different bet. A different bet is a different phase covered: other bowlers if the surface might take spin, or a different middle order if the team news is split. Swapping the captain on a copy of the same eleven is not a different bet.

If the playing XI arrives after the lock, leave the entry where it is. The bowler who walks out instead of your spinner is not in your eleven unless you already selected that bowler. Nobody moves the clock because the commentary has not started.

A second room starts again

The same T20 can show a large room and a head-to-head. They are not one contest with two buttons. The head-to-head has its own spots, its own lock, and its own figure for how many teams it will take. If that figure is one, you have one eleven to get right.

The large-room eleven from the walk-through is a bad paste into the head-to-head when it contains a name you chose only because the field was huge. Against one other team you want the keeper who keeps, the bowlers who bowl a known phase, and the batters who have a place in this order. An unusual name is not an advantage there. If you cannot explain a player with role, ground, or news, that player does not survive the move from the large room to the short one.

Read the second card from the top: spots, lock, team limit. Then decide whether the eleven you already saved still fits, or whether you should build another one under that card’s own counters. Renaming the captain is not that review.

Sentences that are not a reason

These lines feel like progress. None of them chooses a player.

• “The pick percentage is low.” That describes other people. It does not describe an over or a batting slot.
• “Everyone has seen the clip.” One inning, especially on a flat pitch in another game, is not a recent role in this format on this ground.
• “The fans want this player.” A crowd is not team news.
• “This player opened two seasons ago.” The slot that faces balls in the current side is the job. A move down the order is a different job.
• “The toss will sort the bowlers.” A room that locks before the toss will not show it to you. A blank place is not a plan for the coin.
• “The picture on this site had these names.” The sample create-team picture is a layout. Its names and its timer are not this match.
• “Another app allowed more from one side.” The counter in front of you is the limit. A memory of a different contest is not a higher cap.
• “I will fix it after the broadcast starts.” The lock does not wait for commentary. After the timer ends, the saved eleven is the one in the contest.

If your reason is one of those sentences, you are not ready to tap a title, and you may not be ready to join. Write the real reason in one line: the role, the ground or the pitch line, or the news. If that line will not form, stop. The match does not need the entry.

Where to read the rest

The pick a match guide is the first step in full: fixture, ground, start time, lock, spots, recent role, pitch line, team news, and the decision to skip. Use it before you care about a single player.

The playing 11 guide is the second step: what the eleven is, the WK, BAT, AR, and BOWL tabs, balance without a fake scoring chart, differentials against safe picks, the mistakes, and a sample Create Team screen. The names and the countdown drawn on that illustration belong to the illustration.

The captain guide is the end of the second step: titles last, certainty over fame, the second title as cover for a thin day, when a player who both bats and bowls is the right chair, and what you can still change while the room is open. It does not print a multiplier.

The FAQ answers the short versions: how many teams a room allows, how the two titles differ, whether an edit drops you, what a dropped player means, whether to name the captain first, how many players you may take from one real side, when a differential is a bad idea, and why the sample screenshot is not a team to copy.

If a save is refused or you cannot tell whether a room had locked, the contact page says what to tell live chat: the match, the lock, the refusal on the create-team screen, and whether you had already joined. This site does not list an email address or a phone number. It does not fix an APK install, and it does not publish a scoring chart or a prize list. The contest you open is where the room’s own rules are printed. Read them there, then build.
