Standard fantasy cricket is a single-match game — you pick, the match happens, you score, it resets. Multi Draft is fundamentally different. You draft a squad once and that squad competes across an entire series of matches. One draft, multiple matches, sustained competition.
How Multi Draft Works
- Create a Multi Draft game and choose 2–14 matches from any series
- Invite friends — 2 to 8 players can join each Multi Draft game
- Draft your squad using the snake draft format (same as single-match draft)
- Your squad plays across all selected matches automatically
- Points accumulate match by match — highest total at the end wins
The key difference from single-match draft: you're not drafting for one game, you're building a squad to perform over a whole series. Player consistency, workload, and fixtures all become part of your strategy.
Why Multi Draft Is More Fun Than Single-Match Fantasy
One draft, sustained stakes
In single-match fantasy, you draft, watch one game, it's over. Multi Draft keeps your squad relevant for days or even weeks. Every match in the series has something riding on it.
Deeper strategy
You can't just pick the hottest player of the day. You need to think about consistency across matches, fixture difficulty, and whether a player will be rested midway through a series. Single-match fantasy rewards luck. Multi Draft rewards knowledge.
Perfect for a full series
Set up a Multi Draft covering all 5 T20Is in a series. Everyone drafts once. You watch every match together — each wicket and boundary changes the leaderboard. It's the closest thing to a full IPL fantasy league but playable in days, not weeks.
Multi Draft Strategy: How to Build a Winning Squad
Prioritise consistency over peak performers
A batsman who scores 35–45 every match is worth more than one who scores 90 once and 5 the next time. In a 5-match series, consistent contributions outperform boom-or-bust players.
Check workload and rest patterns
Elite bowlers in long series sometimes get rotated. If a key fast bowler is likely to miss a match, that's a risk in Multi Draft. All-rounders who play all matches are safer bets.
Balance bat and ball
Over a series, a squad of 5 that includes 2 genuine all-rounders will accumulate more points than a squad of pure batsmen or pure bowlers. All-rounders give you scoring opportunities in every single match.
Captain choice matters even more
Your captain earns 2× points in every match. Over 5 matches, a consistent captain can be worth 200–300 extra points compared to a non-captain player. Pick a captain who will play every match and score consistently — not a gamble who might explode once.
Multi Draft substitutions: if a player gets injured mid-series, you can use your substitution to swap them out before the next match. Use it wisely — you only get a limited number.
