How to Create Multiple Teams in Dream11 and Its Benefits

The 13th edition of the Indian Premier League is heating up, and it has already shown why it is the biggest T20 league in the world. Also, IPL is the biggest league in the fantasy cricket, and with Dream11 being the Title Sponsor of this year’s IPL, this edition is even bigger on the fantasy sports platform.

If you’re an IPL fantasy player, then you must have faced a situation where you were not able to pick all the players you wanted due to the credit system or some other reason. There are times when you want to pick/drop some players but you couldn’t as they might perform/fail and this can affect the performance of your team.

So, what’s the solution for this? Creating multiple teams can be an excellent solution if you are facing this issue or you like the mega contest/contests with a high number of players. You can create up to 11 teams on Dream11, which is very handy for anyone who likes to play big contests on the app. Other fantasy platforms also allow their users to create multiple teams so it is a very good option irrespective of where you like to play.

So, how do you create multiple teams and what are the benefits of creating them? Let’s talk about this in detail:

Creating Multiple Teams

There are a few things you have to keep in mind while creating your teams. Proper research about the game i.e. individual and team venue records, how the teams play against each other, player battles, etc. These are very important and a must for everyone who plays fantasy cricket. For example, if the match is played on a slow wicket, then the pacers won’t be that effective on it so you can drop a pacer whom everyone is picking and pick a spinner who can fetch you some good points in that game.

Now that you know the venue records of teams and players, you have to select the “core of your fantasy team” i.e. 5-6 players that you cannot afford to drop or are the ones who will be in everyone’s team. These players will be in most of your teams. The number of core players will depend on the teams playing and the venue. After picking your core team, you need to look at the match-ups and venue conditions (which you researched) and pick the remaining players accordingly.

Key tip: Pick different players in different teams or rotate them in different teams. Also rotate the captain and vice-captain in all of your teams. The research you did earlier will help you a lot in this. CricBlog’s match previews have everything you need to know about a particular match in Dream11. So, you can check that before every match.

How to Create Multiple Teams in Dream11 and Its Benefits | Create Multiple Teams Strategy in Dream11 Fantasy Cricket | Dream11 Cricket | Multiple Teams Dream11 Strategy — Creating Multiple Teams in Dream11 helps to increase chances of winning.

For example, the KKR vs DC game in IPL 2020, everyone was picking Shubman Gill. However, Rahul Tripathi scored more points than Gill, that too at a very cheap credit price. Similarly, Harshal Patel, Anrich Nortje, Amit Mishra and Varun Chakravarthy scored more points than Pat Cummins, Kagiso Rabada, Sunil Narine and Pat Cummins. So, you can pick these types of players in some of your teams.

You can also drop some players of your core team in one or two of your Dream11 teams so that in case they fail to perform, you will have a good chance of winning with those teams.

Doing proper research, picking a core team and then picking the remaining players accordingly is how you should create multiple teams in Dream11 or any other platform instead of trying to pick everyone in all of your teams.

Advantages of Multiple Teams

Any advantages of this approach? Yes. They are must if you are playing mega contests or big contests where you are competing against a lot of players. In small leagues, you can create a backup team of your main team and invest accordingly so that if your main team fails to perform, your second team can cover up for you. Sometimes your team is good but you lose due to your Captain and Vice-captain failing to perform so with multiple teams you can make different players as your Captain and Vice-captain.

More Chances of Winning

Creating more XIs with different combinations will certainly increase your chances of winning and if you invest accordingly you will be in profit most of the time. You can cover all the important players and increase your chances of winning. You can rotate Captain and vice-captain as mentioned above so it will again increase your chances of winning, but you have to be smart while playing with multiple teams in small leagues.

You can cover up all the players and create a team for all the situations and it can be very beneficial for you, especially in big contests. You can assume how the teams can win the game and create one or two teams according to that. Research will again help you here. Looking at the strengths and weaknesses of the sides playing will also be important.

So, this was a guide as to how you can create multiple teams and be in the winning zone in Dream11 or any other fantasy sports platform.

We hope this will help you. Thanks for reading!

CSA to do key checks in Pakistan before finalizing series

CSA to do security checks in Pakistan before finalizing series | CSA to perform security and COVID checks before touring Pakistan in January

Talks of a South African tour to Pakistan has come to a halt as the Cricket South Africa board wants to check the security arrangement beforehand. The CSA has decided to form a two-member team and send them to Lahore to take a review of the COVID situation as well as the security arrangement of the place for their players. The Proteas are likely to visit the country in the month of January.

According to the PTI reports, the Pakistan Cricket Board has confirmed that the South African delegation will visit Lahore during the four remaining matches of the Pakistan Super League being held between November 14 and 17. “It is a good sign that Cricket South Africa is sending a delegation although the board has already been regularly briefing them on the security and COVID-19 situation in Pakistan which is under control,” a source in the Board said.

Ever since the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team in Lahore 2009, many international teams don’t visit Pakistan for security concerns, while India has suspended all bilateral ties with the country after the 2008 Mumbai terror attack. “It is still not decided whether South Africa will only play white-ball matches in Pakistan or also some Tests. The PCB is keen to have Tests against them at home. But the schedule of both tours would be finalized once the delegation gives the clearance to their board,” the source said.

IPL 2020 Match 27: MI vs DC Preview Dream11 Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | MI vs DC Dream11 Prediction Today | Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals Key Players | Abu Dhabi Pitch Report

If there was ever an tasty entree heading into a delicious main meal in cricket, this is it. After Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals do battle in Sunday’s opening match, Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals go head-to-head in a mouthwatering top-of-the-table clash at Abu Dhabi.

And MI, the current and four-time IPL champions, have owned Abu Dhabi in IPL 2020. Since their first-up defeat to CSK, Rohit Sharma’s men have thrashed all before them at this ground, scoring 190+ on all three occasions. DC will certainly be a greater test, but all MI fans can feel confident in the magnificent depth of their top seven, where any two or three players can form the cornerstone of their innings. Last game, it was the openers, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya. Who will it be this time?

Delhi Capitals have been terrific, and deservedly sit atop the IPL 2020 Table. One concern regarding DC before the tournament was their finishing, given Marcus Stoinis, a preferred opener in the format, was their designated number six. However, Stoinis has been magnificent this tournament, and like MI, DC have had a number of players step up at certain stages. Whether it is the magnificent backfoot play of Prithvi Shaw, class of Shreyas Iyer, consistency of Rishabh Pant or, most recently, the power of Shimron Hetmyer, DC have what it takes to take down an excellent MI attack.

And, of course, when you add Kagiso Rabada leading the competition with such potency, as well as three MI bowlers in the top six wicket-takers in IPL 2020, we have a clash-and-a-half on our hands today.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Rohit Sharma has been terrific at Abu Dhabi in IPL 2020 (4 matches, 197 runs, avg. 49.25). Also, Rohit has the most runs out of any player in MI-DC matches (560, avg. 35.00, SR 133.33).
Rishabh Pant was player of the match in DC’s first meeting with MI last season, thanks to an incredible 78* off 27 balls. This innings forms part of a very solid overall record for Pant vs MI: 7 inns, 219 runs, avg. 36.50, SR 168.46.
Also, Pant has been consistent in IPL 2020 (31, 37*, 28, 38, 37, 5). His score of 5 came last time out, where he was run out.
Prithvi Shaw is coming of age in IPL 2020. The young DC opener has been the prominent force at the top of the order, with 198 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 151.14.
His opening partner, Shikhar Dhawan, has been under-par in IPL 2020 (6 inns, 132 runs, avg. 22.00, SR 122.22). However, is this the game where Dhawan fires? He has a strong record vs MI: 20 inns, 664 runs, avg. 41.50, SR 129.18.
Quinton de Kock had a slow start to IPL 2020, but looks to be finding his feet, with 90 runs in his last two innings (SR 166.67). Suryakumar Yadav is coming off a superb 79* off 47 balls vs RR.
Apart from his 88* (38) vs KKR, Shreyas Iyer hasn’t quite hit full gear yet in IPL 2020. So, the perfect time is now to further consolidate DC’s top two spot. Can Iyer also improve his record vs MI? (182 runs, avg. 22.75, SR 118.95).
The battle between the finishers will be an interesting one, against excellent death bowlers. Marcus Stoinis & Shimron Hetmyer vs Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard could go some way to deciding this game.
Pollard has been superb. After striking at over 200 on slow pitches in CPL 2020, Pollard is striking at 208.97 in IPL 2020. His partner in crime, Hardik Pandya, is finding his feet, with 88 runs in his past three knocks (avg. 88, SR 179.59).
Stoinis is enjoying an excellent tournament in the middle order (6 inns, 162 runs, avg. 40.50, SR 176.08, 2 50s).
As always, the brilliant Kagiso Rabada is key to DC’s chances. The outstanding pace bowler has taken at least two wickets in 12 of his last 13 IPL matches, and has 15 in just six matches so far in IPL 2020. How will he fare against MI’s quality finishers today? He has six wickets in four games for DC vs MI.
The battle between Rabada and Jasprit Bumrah will also be intriguing. Bumrah is second behind Rabada for most wickets in IPL 2020 (11), and will be crucial in the death overs. Also, Bumrah has 11 wickets in 11 matches vs DC.
Trent Boult is just behind on 10 in IPL 2020, followed by James Pattinson on nine. Anrich Nortje, who is also having a good tournament, has eight.
What role will the spinners play? Rahul Chahar dominated DC last season with 3/19, and has bowled beautifully at Abu Dhabi so far in IPL 2020 (1/36, 2/26, 2/26 and 1/24). R Ashwin, man of the match last game at Sharjah, is bowling beautifully. Can he improve on his ratio of 17 wickets in 24 games vs MI?

Stats and Facts

Matches 24, MI 12, DC 12. DC have won three out of the last four matches vs MI.
Kieron Pollard is striking at 250 vs spin this season. So, will MI push him up the order to counter the likes of R Ashwin and Axar Patel?
Kagiso Rabada v Rohit Sharma will be a key battle. In 34 balls to Rohit in IPL, Rabada has conceded just 39 and dimissed him once.
Of course, Rabada will also be key at the death against the best team in this period. MI strike at 235 runs per 100 balls at this stage in 2020, but DC are the best bowling team at this stage (econ. 9.6), with Rabada taking 11 wickets during overs 16-20.
Axar Patel is yet to concede a six in IPL 2020, with an economy rate of just 4.5 (best among all bowlers with min. 2 overs bowled).
Hardik Pandya averages 17.29 vs DC (SR 142.35). His brother, Krunal Pandya, has superb batting stats vs DC (7 inns, 223 runs, avg. 37.17, SR 179.84), to go with six wickets in seven matches against them.

Possible Playing 11

Mumbai Indians look settled, and should look to stick with their winning combination.

Mumbai Indians: 1. Quinton de Kock (wk), 2. Rohit Sharma (c), 3. Suryakumar Yadav, 4. Ishan Kishan, 5. Hardik Pandya, 6. Kieron Pollard, 7. Krunal Pandya, 8. James Pattinson, 9. Rahul Chahar, 10. Trent Boult, 11. Jasprit Bumrah

Delhi Capitals also look settled, which has been a key part of their success so far.

Delhi Capitals: 1. Shikhar Dhawan, 2. Prithvi Shaw, 3. Shreyas Iyer (c), 4. Rishabh Pant (wk), 5. Marcus Stoinis, 6. Shimron Hetmyer, 7. Axar Patel, 8. Harshal Patel, 9. R Ashwin, 10. Kagiso Rabada, 11. Anrich Nortje

Abu Dhabi Pitch and Weather Report

Mumbai Indians have been outstanding at Abu Dhabi, striking 190+ in each of their last three matches. They have gone on to win the matches by 49, 48 and 57 runs respectively. The average first innings score at this ground in nine matches is exactly 170, with the team batting first winning six times.

Dew is expected to be around, but batting first is the way to go in IPL 2020.

Dream11 Prediction

Option 1:

Option 2:

Match Prediction

What a match this promises to be between two strong attacks, which makes a strong score batting first absolutely crucial. Both team’s capabilities will be tested, but given MI’s slightly better depth, they could come away with a win. However, Delhi are very capable of winning, especially if they bat first.

IPL 2020 Match 26: SRH vs RR Preview Dream11 Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | SRH vs RR Dream11 Prediction Today | Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals Key Players | Dubai Pitch Report

It seems such a long time ago that Rahul Tewatia was the centre of attention thanks to an incredible five sixes in a row to seal the highest ever run chase in IPL history. It seems such a long time ago that Sanju Samson was belting the CSK and KXIP attacks around Sharjah, with skipper Steve Smith providing very effective support.

Since then, Rajasthan Royals have gone two weeks without a win, and desperately need one now. They welcome back star all-rounder Ben Stokes, who has now served his six-day quarantine, after he and his family have shown incredible strength to get to this stage. Stokes’ inclusion gives RR some important balance, but questions remain about their best batting order. Does Robin Uthappa come back in, this time as an opener – a position where he has enjoyed success in IPL cricket? Questions such as these need quick and effective answers as RR’s season is slowly slipping away.

They run into a Sunrisers Hyderabad side that’s finding their feet. The Warner-Bairstow combination was in full flow last time out, with skipper Warner coming off two consecutive half-centuries. Also, the form of Rashid Khan has been simply superb, providing SRH with wicket-taking threat and control in equal measure. So, can SRH, with Kane Williamson also in good touch, continue their push up the table after what was a very underwhelming start to their campaign? They have a good opportunity to do so here.
