It's almost showtime! ICC ODI World Cup 2023 begins in a few hours in India!
Like the last few years, ICC have teamed up with Dream 11 again to give fans all around the world a chance to don the coaches hat and select their own team and score points in a season long ICC Men's ODI Cricket World Cup 2023.
Let's start with the basic format and the rules below. And then we will move onto the boosters that they've introduced to spice up the game.
Team Selection
It's pretty basic, we've to select 11 players within the given constraints of 100 credits & 1-4 Wicket-keepers, 3-6 batsmen, 1-4 All-rounders and 3-6 bowlers. We can only pick a maximum of 7 players from a single team.
We need to select 1 Captain (who gets *2 points) and 1 Vice Captain (who gets *1.5 points). We can change Captain and Vice Captain for all matches before the deadline for that particular match.
Points System
Transfers
The game begins with the match between England and New Zealand which starts at 02.00 PM IST on October 5th 2023. Till the deadline, you will get unlimited transfers. Post that, for the 45 group stage matches, there are a total of 135 transfers. Then unlimited transfers before the start of the 1st Semi Final & then 10 transfers again till the Finals!
So to summarize
Match 1-45: 135 Transfers
After match 45 and before match 46 (First Semi Final): Unlimited transfers
Match 46-48: 10 Transfers
Important Points to Remember
If a match is abandoned before it begins, the transfers made will NOT be deducted & any booster applied will continue to be applied for the next match and can be unapplied any time before the next deadline.
If a match is abandoned after it begins, the transfers made WILL BE deducted & any booster applied will be unavailable for upcoming matches. Fantasy points earned during the duration of the abandoned match will be retained.
Boosters
A total of 7 boosters have been given which you can use any time you want. These boosters can really help in getting the rank to go up if used at the right time.
The boosters are
Super Transfer - Unlimited transfers
Triple Scorer - Selected player gets *3 of their Fantasy points
Double up - The most important booster. Doubles the points of your team. Use this wisely.
Power Batter - All batters in your team get *2 the points
Power Bowler - All bowlers in your team get *2 the points
Power All-rounder - All All-rounders in your team get *2 the points
Power Keeper - All wicket-keepers in your team get *2 the points
We will dive deeper into each booster in the next blog post, looking into how we can best maximize them, which matches stand out to play which boosters, etc.
Leagues & Prizes
Everyone is automatically entered into the global league with fans from all across the world.
Like the last time, I don't see a country league where-in we used to be added to the country that we were supporting.
You can also create and join leagues competing with your friends!
