All you need to know about WBBL Fantasy
WBBL Fantasy is back!
As the summer of cricket braces itself for yet another exciting season of WBBL, the tournament’s official fantasy game promises to be equally exciting – with amazing prizes in store for winners!
Fans are invited to play the classic game which will cover all 59 games between October 25th and November 28th.
Build your team
What’s the winning formula? Is it prioritising big scores from opening batters or targeting allrounders who can chip in with runs and wickets? Maybe you’ll form a bowler-friendly team and hope for a low-scoring contest on the field.
Dream11 gives players 100 credit points to build their perfect WBBL Fantasy team. Players are valued from 1-10 credit points each, with the proven stars of the competition the most expensive to acquire.
Build your Dream11 fantasy team using 1-3 wicketkeepers, 3-6 batters, 1-4 all-rounders and 3-6 bowlers. Next, pick a captain for double points and a vice captain for 1.5x points.
You will have a total of 25 transfers for the whole season – so be mindful about how much you change your team XI before submitting them before the deadline for each game.
You are free to make unlimited changes when it comes to your captain and vice-captain!
Regardless of how well your chosen XI fares, once the match is over, it’s time to pick again. Learn from your mistakes and lean on your favourites over and over again.
Leagues
When you sign up for WBBL Fantasy, you will automatically join the Global League as well as your favourite team’s league after creating a team. Of course, you are more than welcome to create multiple private leagues and invite your friends to join you there too!
Prizes
This season, WBBL Fantasy has cash prizes for the top five overall winners with the number one ranked player at the end of the season winning $5000! And make sure you select your favourite WBBL club to be in with a chance of topping your team league and winning $200 of club merchandise.
