Form sits at 50 percent weight in projection math. Venue history at 30 percent. Matchup read at 20 percent. Toss overlay applies as a final 10 percent. Form updates after every completed match evening. Last 5 innings matter more than last 10. SR 155 in last 5 outweighs SR 130 in last 10. Hot streaks of 3 consecutive 50-plus scores historically deliver 38 percent above projection mean. Cold streaks of 3 consecutive single-digit scores deliver 32 percent below projection mean. Form tracks in 3-match windows. The window sits at 5 to 7 days for the regular IPL schedule.
Form rules: pace bowlers need wickets, not just economy. Batsmen need runs and SR. All-rounders need both. Wicket-keepers need catches plus stumping plus runs. Captain picks on form drops average 9 percent accuracy each season. Read form by role, not by name.
Captain picks on powerplay specialists clear 82 percent of the time in our two-season tracker. Captain picks on death-overs specialists clear only 48 percent because of ceiling volatility. Captain picks on middle-overs anchors sit near 65 percent. Powerplay math tilts the leaderboard hard.
Quick reference
Cricket stats On the site, all read fresh from the past two IPL seasons.
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.
