Why cricket-first depth wins the leaderboard
Fantasy cricket hub: 10 franchises, 10 venues, 38,400-plus matches. Read the four axes.
IPL 2024 played 74 league matches across 10 venues, plus 4 playoff matches, total 78 fixtures. First-innings average across all venues sat at 173. Second-innings chase won 46 of those 78, a 59 percent chase success rate driven mostly by dew-friendly venues. Venue distribution by dew factor: high dew Wankhede, Chepauk, Eden Gardens, Mohali. Medium dew Bengaluru, Lucknow, Jaipur. Low dew Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Delhi. Venue history matters more in T20 cricket than across any other format. The past 5 seasons form the deepest read.
Powerplay phase covers overs 1 through 6. Top-order bats at flat tracks average 50 to 65 runs in the first six overs. Faf du Plessis, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul all clear 50 in powerplay at 145-plus SR across the last two IPL seasons. Powerplay phase is the single most consistent read for fantasy captain picks.
Death overs cover overs 17 through 20. Pace bowlers dominate the wicket share at 64 percent. Slow bowlers take 28 percent. Part-timers pick up the remaining 8. Death-overs economy ratings below 8 qualify as elite. Above 10 reads as a liability for captain math.
Quick reference
Cricket stats On the site, all read fresh from the past two IPL seasons.

Chinnaswamy at full tilt: 12 centuries in 7 IPL 2024 fixtures
M. Chinnaswamy hosted 7 of the 74 IPL 2024 league matches. First-innings average 185, low dew, flat track. Virat Kohli's 741 IPL 2024 runs came largely here. KL Rahul averages 52 across three seasons at this ground. Twelve centuries were hit across the seven matches.

Powerplay corner hits: why 145+ SR anchors pay off the cap
Powerplay phase carries the lowest projection variance because every player's role is fixed. Top-order bats at flat tracks give the steadiest read. Faf du Plessis, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul regularly clear 50 in the powerplay at 145+ SR.

Death-overs ceiling picks: how to chase the 80-point upside
A 40-point death over becomes 80 with one six. A 10-point duck becomes 20. Death overs are the most chaotic phase of T20. Captain picks here should chase ceiling rather than floor. T Natarajan SRH death-over economy 6.80 in IPL 2024.

Left-handers vs Rashid Khan: where the 12-point swing lives
Last 5 encounters per pair show specific batter-vs-bowler patterns. Rashid Khan holds 5.8 economy vs left-handers against 7.4 vs right-handers. Yashasvi Jaiswal averages 18 against him; Ruturaj Gaikwad averages 42.

Toss and venue together: 15-20 percent of fantasy outcomes
Toss swings 15-20 percent of fantasy outcomes. In Chinnaswamy, batting first averages 185, second 178. At Chepauk, the gap widens to 22 runs because of the dew curve. Captain picks update post-toss via app notification.

Wankhede dew: 6 of 7 home wins, how the play reshuffles the XI
Wankhede Stadium hosted 7 IPL 2024 matches. The home side won 6. First-innings average 178. Dew cuts spin grip 30 percent, lifts pacers 15 percent. Play-time captain picks shift post-toss: if side batting second, pacers gain value.

Play-time bankroll math: 5 percent cap wins the IPL season
Top 100 winners across IPL 2024 averaged 4.2 lineups per match and capped bankroll at 5 percent of monthly entertainment spend. Single-match focus beats multi-match chase. UPI deposits typically clear 5-30 minutes.

Captain 2x: how the 70-point actual becomes 140 fantasy
Captain 2x is the single largest points lever on every IPL platform. A 70-point actual becomes 140 fantasy. Suryakumar Yadav IPL 2024: per-match average 48.5 base points, with captain 2x that reads 97. Kohli's ceiling sits at 117.

Salary cap math: 100 credits, 11 picks, 8 roles minimum
100 credits, 11 players, 8 roles minimum. Wicket-keeper 1-4, batsman 1-8, all-rounder 1-4, bowler 1-6. Pant at 11 credits, Kohli at 11, Bumrah at 10.5. Cap forces 4-6 picks from the 7-8.5 credit bracket per squad.

Form index: last 5 innings outweighs last 10 by a wide margin
Form is weighted 50 percent of projection. Last 5 innings matter more than last 10. A batter with 240 runs in last 5 at 155 SR sits higher than 380 runs in last 10 at 130 SR. Form updates every match evening.

State rules for real-money play: 6 states remain restricted
Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Sikkim, Nagaland remain restricted from real-money fantasy per the 2021 Supreme Court ruling. KYC needs PAN plus Aadhaar before first withdrawal. 18 plus only.

Hub captain math for IPL 2026
Fantasy cricket hub math for IPL 2026. Captain stack, projection, hit rate.
IPL 2024 played 74 league matches across 10 venues, plus 4 playoff matches, total 78 fixtures. First-innings average across all venues sat at 173. Second-innings chase won 46 of those 78, a 59 percent chase success rate driven mostly by dew-friendly venues.
Venue distribution by dew factor: high dew Wankhede, Chepauk, Eden Gardens, Mohali. Medium dew Bengaluru, Lucknow, Jaipur. Low dew Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Delhi. Venue history matters more in T20 cricket than across any other format. The past 5 seasons form the deepest read.
Three venues account for nearly 30 percent of all IPL centuries scored since 2018: Wankhede, Chinnaswamy, Wankhede again. Flat tracks and short boundaries turn T20 batting into a powerplay-driven show. Powerplay specialists thrive in those three venues especially.
