Fantasy cricket, edited daily.

PlayerzPot is an Indian fantasy-cricket app for T20, ODI and Test matches. Our desk reads the squad lists, points system and state-wise eligibility so you can build a team with the same information the pros use — without spending an afternoon chasing stat sheets.

Primary feature

What our editorial desk checks before you pick a team.

Every PlayerzPot guide on this site runs through the same desk checklist. We publish what we can verify from the in-app Help, the Play Store listing and public regulatory notices — and we flag what still needs your own confirmation.

The PlayerzPot format looks familiar to anyone who has played fantasy cricket before: pick 11 within a credit cap, mark a captain (2×) and a vice-captain (1.5×), and let the live score settle the leaderboard. Where our coverage adds value is in the edges the lobby hides.

Our desk walks each match card the morning of the fixture, comparing the likely XI to the credit cost of the marquee players, the pitch report from the previous match at the venue, and the death-overs economy split. We mark every figure as either verified against the in-app Help section or as an observation that you should confirm before locking.

  • Predicted XI cross-referenced with the team's social channels when available.
  • Captain / vice-captain math worked through one scenario at a time.
  • Contest entry fees from the in-app lobby — never a number we cannot back up.
  • State-wise eligibility check before the contest join screen.

Where the data isn't in the public domain, we say so. PlayerzPot rotates its bonus amounts by campaign, and the in-app Refer & Earn screen is the only place to read the current number. We do not invent figures.

The points-system cheat sheet, on one page.

The numbers below mirror the batting, bowling and fielding events published inside the in-app Help section. If a row drifts, trust the in-app version — the operator updates it before matches.

PlayerzPot's points system rewards consistent batting and tight bowling more than flashy cameos. A batsman who scores 40 off 28 balls with two boundaries and a six earns the same strike-rate bump at the death as a six-ball duck who holes out at long-on. Read the table below as a reference, not a guarantee.

EventPoints
Run scored+1
Boundary bonus+4
Six bonus+6
Half-century+8
Century+16
Duck (batsman / wk / captain-bat only)−2
Wicket (excluding run-out)+25
Maiden over+4
Catch+8
Stumping / run-out (direct)+12
Captain multiplier×2
Vice-captain multiplier×1.5

Strike-rate and economy bonuses apply in addition to the base points. They are split into bands — for example, a T20 strike rate above 170 at the death adds a +6 bump, while a rate below 50 in the same window subtracts −3. Worked example and full table live on the points system desk.

Live-style digest

Today's fantasy cheat sheet.

Refreshed when the squads are announced and the toss lands. Numbers below are observation, not prediction — confirm inside the in-app lobby before joining.

    Captain desk

    Death-overs strike rate is the swing variable.

    A captain who bats at four or five and finishes the innings is worth more in T20 than an opener who falls in the powerplay, even if the opener's base numbers look bigger on paper.

  • Sun
    26 Jul
    Predictions desk

    Read the toss, not the headline.

    For day matches, a 60–40 chase preference is built into most contests. For night matches under lights, the dew window flips the read. Confirm the in-app pitch report before locking.

  • Sat

    The credit cap rewards balance.

    Spreading credit across three or four in-form all-rounders typically outscores stacking the cap on two marquee players. Worked-example math on the points-system desk.

Editorial colophon

How this site is written.

PlayerzPot.app is an independent editorial desk that covers Indian fantasy cricket. We are not the operator of the PlayerzPot app. Every guide on this site is written for readers who want to understand the format, the points system, the legality and the responsible-play tools — not for readers chasing a guaranteed win.

Our editorial standards: no fabricated facts. If a number cannot be verified from the in-app Help, the Play Store listing or a public regulatory notice, we mark it as To verify or Unverified in the panel above. No invented ownership, payment or contact details. No SEO boilerplate. The voice is a sports desk, not a marketing brochure.

Responsible play: fantasy cricket is a skill-based game of analysis. Set a deposit cap before you start, use the in-app session reminder, and self-exclude through the Wallet settings if the format stops being fun. The 18+ age rule applies. State-wise eligibility is summarised on the legality desk.
