Introduction: Cricmatch is Not Luck but Smarter Play
As we head into the 2025 IPL season, Cricmatch has become very much an infection for many fantasy cricket fans and casual gamers, for that matter. Anyone can join, but not everybody can become a winner. Why? Because Cricmatch rewards user strategy, timing and in-game intelligence, rather than blind or random guesses.
This blog will provide you with exclusive pro tips to help you maximise your experience and more importantly win consistently on Cricmatch games, challenges and fantasy formats.
Understand the Cricmatch ecosystem in the first instance
Before we discuss higher level tactics, become familiar with the way Cricmatch works in 2025:
Interactive Live Panel: Track the live scores and player impact ratings (live user sentiment)
Player Rankings: Built from live match data/user sentiment
Match Streak Quests: Badges for accurate predictions over multiple games
Point Predictors: Additional points for in-play predictions such as ‘Next Boundary’ or similar categories like ‘Fall of Wicket’
Knowing how the game works like this, is your first step toward wielding strategic power over your play.
Tip #1: Consider not always going with the pack
A large percentage of users will copy popular teams or captain options, citing risk aversion arguments. However, Cricmatch currently values risk-adjusted performance; high-value/potential-low-selected players could put you well in the count in the event any of them play a big part in their games thereafter.
Refer to the Cricmatch Selection Heatmap to observe:
Percentage selected as compared with the rest of the selection field
Past three-match evidence of form
The opposition bowling strength
Tip #2: Take advantage of Early Match rooms
Each match opens a lobby where users can predict outcomes prior to the toss being announced. When you join the lobby, you are firstly getting access to a better chance or odds and also getting previews of the team combinations.
Next pro move: Watch the Practice Session insights feed that opens up three hours prior to game time.
Tip #3: Be active while the game is live
Cricmatch creators reward active users with micro-bonus challenge opportunities during live sporting events, such as:
Predict the overs that consist of dot balls
Select the top-scorer for a current phase of the match
Complete trivia for bonus points
These opportunities come every 5-10 overs and can be a great way to catapault you past hundreds of players who have also been participating.
Tip #4: Focus on building consistency over flash
Instead of worrying about trying to achieve one large win during one match, aim at building trustable performance that appears consistently in the top 30% of games.
Why you might ask?
To gain you Performance Trust Points (PTPs)
To gain access to closed leagues with higher prize values
To qualify you for Cricmatch’s end-of-season mega draw
Tip #5: Follow the Cricmatch Weekly Strategy Digest
