📚 How To Use

Selecting Cricket Gender Category

The first step is to select the gender category of the cricket match. You have two options:

• Mens: Select this for Men's cricket matches
• Womens: Select this for Women's cricket matches

Once you select the gender, the system will automatically update the available match types and series based on your selection. This ensures you only see relevant matches for your chosen category.

Choosing Match Type and Cricket Series

After selecting the gender, choose the match type and series:

• Select Type: Choose from International, League, or other match types
• Select Series: Pick the specific cricket series or tournament (e.g., IPL, World Cup, etc.)

The dropdown menus will populate based on your gender selection. This helps narrow down the available matches to your preferred tournament or series.

Selecting the Specific Match

Now select the specific match you want to create teams for:

• Click on the "Select Match" dropdown
• Browse through available matches
• Select your desired match (e.g., "Pak vs aus")

Once you select a match, the system will load all player data for that match, including player names, roles, credits, and selection percentages.

Understanding the Player Lineup Tables

After selecting a match, you'll see two player lineup tables - one for opening batsmen (Bat 1st) and one for middle-order batsmen (Bat 2nd):

• Player name: Full name of the cricketer
• Role: Position (BAT, BOWL, AR, WK)
• Hand: Batting hand (Right/Left)
• Sel %: Selection percentage in fantasy teams
• Credit: Fantasy cricket credits for the player

The "Total Teams" counter at the bottom shows how many valid team combinations are possible with the current player pool.

Filter 1: Credit Limit

Set your total credit budget for the team. This is the most important filter as it determines the overall team composition:

• Select your desired credit limit (e.g., 90.5, 91.0, etc.)
• Teams will be generated within this exact credit limit
• Higher credits allow for more premium players
• Lower credits force you to pick underrated players

Filter 2: Left Hand (Batting Hand)

Control the number of left-handed batsmen in your team:

• Select how many left-handed batsmen you want (0-8)
• This helps balance your team composition
• Left-handed players often have different matchups against right-arm bowlers
• Most teams have a mix of left and right-handed batsmen

Filter 3: 1st/2nd Bat (Batting Order)

Control the ratio of opening batsmen to middle-order batsmen:

• Select your preferred ratio (e.g., 5/6 means 5 opening batsmen and 6 middle-order)
• Opening batsmen typically have higher scores but lower consistency
• Middle-order batsmen are more stable but may have lower individual scores
• Experiment with different ratios to find your optimal strategy

Filter 4: Sel(+50/-50)% (Selection Percentage)

Control the selection percentage of players in your team:

• High Selection %: Popular players chosen by many (less differential)
• Low Selection %: Underrated players (higher risk but more reward)
• Mix both for balanced risk-reward strategy
• This filter helps you decide between safe and aggressive team compositions

Filter 5: Format (Team Composition)

Select the team format/composition. Different formats represent different team structures:

• Each format shows a different combination of batsmen, all-rounders, and bowlers
• The format dropdown shows all possible valid team compositions
• Select a format that matches your strategy
• Different formats work better in different match situations

Excluding Specific Players from Teams

You can exclude specific players who won't be included in generated teams:

• Type the player name in the "Exclude players..." input box
• Press Enter or click Add
• The player will appear as a red tag below the input
• Click the X on any tag to remove the exclusion

When to exclude players:

• Injured players who won't play
• Players with uncertain participation
• Players you want to avoid for strategic reasons
• Players with poor recent form

Creating Team Combinations

Once you've set all your filters, click the green "Create Teams" button:

• The system will calculate all valid team combinations
• This may take a few seconds depending on the number of combinations
• A loading indicator will show the progress
• The "Total Teams" counter will update with the number of generated teams

The left panel shows the complete player lineup with all available players, while the right panel will display the generated teams.

Reviewing Your Generated Teams

After generation, teams will appear on the right panel showing:

• Team Header: Team number and total credits used
• WK (1): Wicket-keeper section with 1 player
• BAT (4): Batsmen section with 4 players
• ALL (3): All-rounders section with 3 players
• BOWL (3): Bowlers section with 3 players

Each player card shows:

• Player name
• Selection percentage
• Credit value
