To build a match-winning fantasy cricket team, you need to pick top-order batsmen. Top order batmen means the top 3 players, openers + no. 3 batsmen, who face the first ball of the game, who stay on the crease for a long time.
Top-order batsmen have more chances to score since they spend a longer time at the crease. The dependence on high-scoring games is one of the main disadvantages of focusing just on top-order batters.
All-rounders give up points in a variety of ways, including wickets, catches, and run-outs. Top-order batsmen do not necessarily have the best strike rates, especially in T20 formats. Middle-order hitters are particularly useful since they frequently enter the game at crucial times.
The selection of hitters can be greatly affected by the pitch and venue conditions. Always choose the top-order batsmen on a batting-friendly pitch or venue. Pick more regular and consistent batmen who help you get more fantasy points.
Shubman Gill and Babar Azam are preferred anchor-style batters for ODI and T20. He loves to play against Jasprit Bumrah with 140 runs at a strike rate of 147. He struggles to take runs against Sandeep Sharma with just a 14.8 average. He also struggles to play with Jaspit Bumra with 140 at a rate of 140.
The top-order (positions 1–3) is ideal since they have the biggest potential of scoring large runs and earning bonus points. The ideal batsman is patient, technically sound, and able to bat for extended periods.
