#1 Play smalls leagues instead of grand leagues

As Dhoni says, KHELO DIMAG SE

Without a surprise, anyone, who comes to this platform, wants to win big, that too in a short time. And the best option they feel, to do it, is to take part in the grand leagues that are played among thousands or lakhs contesters. In these leagues, users keep losing their money, and in frustration, lose the mindset needed to pick a good team.

It is important to not being greedy and try your luck in small leagues, where you can be a winner even with few flaws in your team, unlike in a grand league where even a trivial mistake can take you out of the list of winners for a particular game.

#2 Choosing wicket-keeper as the captain of your team

Since you could choose only one wicket-keeper, it was difficult to choose one between Hope and Bairstow.

A number of cricket matches are played between two neck-to-neck sides where both teams have great wicket-keeper batsmen in their ranks. As you know, one can pick only one wicket-keeper in one's dream 11, if your wicket-keeper performs good with the bat and gloves, you will earn double points than your opponent; if your team's captain is a high-profile batsman, then it is high chances that that player will be the part of your opponents' teams at least. In this case, you will not earn double points than your opponents.

For example, suppose there is a match, being played between England and West Indies, where England has Jonny Bairstow and West Indies has Shai Hope as the wicket-keeper batsman. Now, both the batsmen bat in top 3, so they are going to have enough chances to bat. Other batting option will be the likes of Chris Gayle, Joe Root, Jason Roy etcetera who might be the part of everyone's team. Hence, having the wicket-keeper as the captain might give you double points than your contesters.

#3 Importance of the Toss

Sri Lanka was clearly the weaker team of the two.

Contrary to the previously-mentioned point, a number of matches are also played between the teams that are unmatched in strengths. In such matches, it is important to focus on who is going to bat first.

If the weaker team is batting first then it is high probability that they will get all-out, in this case you need to pick all the possible bowlers from the stronger team in your dream 11, and as many batsmen as you can pick from the weaker team. Because such matches finish as a low-scoring affair most of the times, top two or three batsmen from the stronger team will do the job for you, and if you pick several batsmen from the weaker team, there are high possibilities that you will be able to choose the highest scorer from that team.

In the opposite case, if the stronger team bat first, it means they will post a big score most of the times. In this scenario, you must try to pick the top 5 batsmen from that team; you can pick one bowler from the weaker team who you think will bowl in the slog overs and can pick wickets at that time.

Chasing a big target, generally, the weaker team will struggle, and possibly no batsmen will accrue more points than the batsmen you have already picked from the stronger team. You can go for the two best bowling options from the stronger team to make your dream 11 a nearly perfect one.
