Dream 11 ICC T20 World Cup 2022 Fantasy Game - Best teams variations for Final between Pakistan v England

In this post, I will list out my Top 3 Team Variations for Dream11 Fantasy Game for the Final between Pakistan and England to be played at MCG in Melbourne on the 13th of November 2022:

You can take a quick glance at the Road to the Final for these two teams.

Dream 11 Team for Pakistan v England (Variation 1)

Balanced team with 2 Pakistani batters, 3 English batters, 3 players from each team who are expected to bowl 4 overs. All-rounders included for maximum potential of fantasy points. Mark Wood is included but can be replaced by Jordan or Woakes if he is still injured.

Dream 11 Team for FInal Pakistan v England ICC T20 World Cup 2022

Dream 11 Team for Pakistan v England (Variation 2)

More focused on all-rounders and bowling. Light on Pakistan batting as English bowling can be dangerous at MCG. No Mark Wood, Rizwan and Ifthikar included who has been good lower down.

Dream 11 Team for Pakistan v England (Variation 3)

Focus on batting and bowling with only 2 all-rounders. Rizwan and Babar there. Three bowlers from each side.

Dream 11 ICC Official Season Long T20 World Cup 2022 Fantasy Game - Team for Semi Finals!

What a T20 World Cup 2022 it has been so far!! For me personally, I currently stand at a a Global Rank of 76 out of a total 4,18,300 players. It has been a pleasure writing differential player posts and having received positive feedback from so many!

In this post, I will list out Top 11 Players for matches covering the two Semi Finals:

New Zealand v Pakistan, November 09, SCG, Sydney

India v England, November 10, Adelaide Oval, Adelaide

Dream 11 Team for New Zealand v Pakistan - Semi Final 1

The pitch at SCG has slowed down considerably and I feel it will suit changes of pace and spin bowlers. It is always better to have a balanced squad for the big matches, so I have gone for 5-6 Pakistan-New Zealand combination.

3 Alternatives to the team shared above:

  1. Allen to Haris
  2. Allen to Rauf
  3. Allen to Southee

Dream 11 Team for India v England - Semi Final 1

Adelaide has provided some great matches over the past 2 weeks and the team batting first has generally won. Spin has done well at the venue with the smaller boundaries on one side also aiding batters. Just like my Dream 11 Team for New Zealand v Pakistan - Semi Final 1, I have again gone for a balanced 5-6 India England combination.

Dream 11 Team for India v England - Semi Final 1

There is not much I would change with the above team as I feel it covers the 2 semi finalists well. May a punt on KL Rahul can be taken instead of Virat Kohli but I would not take that risk personally.

What are your thoughts on the above suggestions? Anything you would change? What is your Global Rank?

Dream 11 ICC Official Season Long T20 World Cup 2022 Fantasy Game - 7 Boosters Explained plus How & When to use them

In the last post, I listed out the Top 11 Differential players covering Aus v SL, Eng v Ire & NZ v Afg.

Now let us dive deep into the boosters being provided for the Official Season Long T20 World Cup 2022 Fantasy Game powered by Dream11 and what they mean and how and when might be the best time & games to play them.

Boosters for Official Season Long T20 World Cup 2022 Fantasy Game powered by Dream11

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. Let us now investigate each and every booster in detail.

Super Transfer - Unlimited transfers, like a Wildcard

Best Usage

The booster is best used to either hop on to get a team which allows you to play your Double up booster in the next match by getting 7-8 players or to hop off from your team after playing the Double up booster by making a balanced squad for the next 3/ 4 games. Use this booster very carefully, as it helps you to reset your team once in a season. It can also be used in case your team suddenly has 2-3 injured or out of favor players.

Triple Impact - Selected player gets *3 of their Fantasy points

Best Usage

It can be used on any player once and the concerned player gets *3 of their Fantasy points. It's important to note that you will still be able to select your captain and vice captain as usual.

So the best time to use this booster is when you think that there are multiple good options to maximize points. For example, when you've 3-4 very good options and you're confused about whom to select captain/ vice captain, then this booster can help you to reduce your headache and maximize the points.

Double up - The most important booster. Doubles the points of your team. Use this wisely.

Best Usage

As the name implies, activating this booster gives all your players double their Fantasy points. So, your captain gets *4 and vice captain gets *3 times their Fantasy points. This is the most powerful booster in the game and can easily give you around 1500 points in one game thereby boosting your rank immensely.

I would suggest to use this booster when two evenly matched teams play for example, Pak v SA, IND v SA, Aus v Eng, NZ v Eng, SL v NZ.

It's ideal to have a full playing XI to maximize the full potential of the double up booster.

Power Batter - All batters in your team get *2 the points

Best Usage

Almost all pitches in Australia are well balanced offering something for everybody but Sydney, Melbourne and Gabba are the best in terms of being true for the batsmen in particular.

Select matches being played at these grounds to activate your power batter booster.

Some of the matches I would Target are Aus v SL, Aus v Eng, Eng v NZ, IND v SA, Pak v SA, SL v Eng and Zim v IND.

It's ideal to get 6 batters in your team to use this booster for maximum advantage.

Power Bowler - All bowlers in your team get *2 the points

Best Usage

Perth is a pitch which supports bowlers due to its high pace and bounce. MCG is also a very balanced surface. Select a match which has two good bowling sides, select 6 bowlers and activate the power bowler booster.

There are many good matches where this booster might be played.

Power All-rounder - All All-rounders in your team get *2 the points

Best Usage

You'll need 4 good all-rounders involved in a match so you can realize the full potential of this booster. Teams like Australia (Maxwell, Marsh, Stoinis), England (Stokes, Curran, Moeen), Ireland (Stirling, Delaney, Dockrell, Simi, Campher), New Zealand (Santner, Neesham) and Sri Lanka (Dhananjaya, Hasaranga, Chamika) from Group 1 while Netherlands (De Leede, Ackermann), Pakistan (Shadab, Iftikhar, Nawaz), Zimbabwe (Raza, Williams, Burl) from Group 2 have a good set of all-rounders.

India has Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel but I wouldn't really count on Axar and hence wouldn't play my booster in an India game.

Group 1 teams seem to have better all-rounders and hence it would seem like a wise move to play the booster targeting a game from Group 1.

Power Keeper - All wicket-keepers in your team get *2 the points

Best Usage

You can select a maximum of 4 keepers but generally those many keepers won't be playing in a single game. Look out for teams with 2 keepers listed and who might start so that you can maximize the power keeper booster.

New Zealand has Allen and Conway both listed as keepers. If Salt starts for England then NZ v NZ is the best game for this booster. Otherwise, any Kiwi game is good for this booster.

Bangladesh are playing both Litton and Nurul so they may be targeted too and if SA decide to play Klassen then South Africa v Bangladesh also seems like a good game to use this booster.

This booster may be activated with 3 players.

That was all about the 7 powerful boosters provided to make the season long T20 World Cup fantasy game more interesting and spicy. Do let me know your views on the same. If you have any questions, do let me know in the comments section.

Dream 11 ICC Official Season Long T20 World Cup 2022 Fantasy Game - Tips & Tricks, Differential Players

As we saw in the previous post, ICC has launched the Official Season Long T20 World Cup 2022 Fantasy Game powered by Dream11.

I'm giving below a few tips & tricks with which you can start the game.

Team Composition

Start with a balanced squad of 443 which means 4 players from Australia v New Zealand, 4 players from England v Afghanistan and 3 players from Sri Lanka v Ireland. This year we've a total of 90 transfers for the first 30 matches. So starting in such a fashion would mean you'll have around 90 transfers floor 27 matches which will help you later.

Factoring in the Rain

You have to factor in the rain when making the initial team this time because the 1st match has a 90% chance of rain, 3rd match has a 70% chance of rain and the 4th match again has a 90% chance of rain.

The rain might clear but it would not be a bad strategy to further diversify from the 443 I mentioned above. Maybe split something like 3332 for the first 4 matches. That should cover you in case of rain and you'll have players from further down the line.

Top Heavy, Nailed Players

Another strategy that should work in case of rain shortened matches is picking players who are likely to bat in top 3 and pick fast bowlers who will likely get more overs due to heavy overhead conditions.

Also picking players who are a surety to start are better as it will not lead to wasted transfers.

Now let's look at Top 9 Differential (less then 10% owned) players to start the game

Finn Allen 5.46%

  • Explosive Opening Batsmen
  • In Good form
  • Wait for toss, slim chance Guptill might start over him

Kusal Mendis 0.16%

  • In form nailed keeper batter
  • Faces Ireland

Alex Hales 8.9%

  • Explosive opener
  • Nailed
  • Faces Afghanistan
  • No chance of rain

Wanindu Hasaranga 0.75%

  • Top T20 Bowler
  • Faces Ireland who might struggle against spin
  • Handy with the bat too

Ben Stokes 9.18%

  • Should bat in top 4
  • Nailed to start
  • Might bowl full quota of 4 overs
  • Faces Afghanistan and no chance of rain affecting the match

Mark Wood 7.18%

  • Faces an Afghan side who might struggle with his thunderbolts

Chris Woakes 4.76%

  • Underrated bowler, has a knack of picking wickets in bunches

Curtis Campher 0.01%

  • Most nailed all rounder in Irish side
  • Consistent performer

Maheesh Theekshana 0.12%

  • Mystery spinner
  • Ireland would not have faced anything like him before
  • Miserly and wicket taking option for SL

These were some of the hidden gems I think could do well at the beginning.

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.

Post that, for the 30 league matches, there will be a total of 90 transfers given. Then unlimited transfers before the start of the 1st Semi Final & then 10 transfers again till the Finals!

So to summarize

Match 1-30: 90 Transfers

After match 30 and before match 31: Unlimited transfers

Match 31-33: 10 Transfers

An important point to remember is that the transfers will not be refunded if the match is delayed, postponed or abandoned.

The boosters are

Leagues & Prizes

Everyone is automatically entered into the global league with fans all across the world.

Like always, 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!

There are some decent prizes for the overall league winners

Rank 2-5 Get a Signed Bat

Rank 6-20 $40 merchandise coupon to be used on ICC Official Merchandise Store

Rank 21-40 $20 merchandise coupon to be used on ICC Official Merchandise Store

ICC and Dream 11 could really have done better with those prizes.

Team Selection

Try to start with 443 formation. That is, 4 players from the first game (Australia v New Zealand), 4 players from the second game (England v Afghanistan) and 3 players from the third game (Sri Lanka v TBC). Also, it is advisable that you wait till the toss before making any final changes and setting up the team. Since rain is predicted for AusvNZ, try to have lesser players in case there is heavy rain.
