???? Why These Big Totals Matter for Fantasy Players

High-scoring games = more fantasy points.

When a team scores 200+ runs, it means:

• Batsmen are scoring big.
   

• Strike rates are high.
   

• Boundaries (and bonus points) are flowing.
   

• Opposing teams may also score well during the chase.
   

Let’s break down how to use this trend to maximize your winnings.

 

---

✅ 1. Stack Your Team with Top-Order Batters

Most runs are scored by the top 3 players. In high-scoring games, these batters usually play longer innings.

???? Strategy: Always pick openers and No. 3 batsmen from teams playing on flat pitches. They face the most balls and have the most chances to score big.

 

---

✅ 2. Use Captain/Vice-Captain Wisely

Your captain earns 2x points, and your vice-captain earns 1.5x. One explosive inning from the right player can skyrocket your score.

???? Tip: In matches expected to be high-scoring, choose batters with the potential to score 50+ quickly. Buttler, Gaikwad, and Head are solid picks this season.

 

---

✅ 3. Check Pitch and Ground Stats

Some grounds like Wankhede, Chinnaswamy, and Eden Gardens are known for high scores.

???? Tip: Use these grounds to your advantage. Expect totals above 200 and load your fantasy team with batters from both sides.

 

---

✅ 4. Don’t Forget the Bowlers in Chases

While batting gets the spotlight, bowlers in the chasing team can earn points too — especially death-over specialists and wicket-taking spinners.

???? Balance: Pick 1–2 bowlers who bowl in pressure situations. Even in high totals, wickets still fall.

✅ 5. Follow Expert Predictions Before Every Match

It’s not always easy to predict which game will be a high-scorer. That’s why checking expert previews like this one can help:
