Cricket moves fast — one moment it's a Test melee, the next a T20 fantasy showdown. This tag page brings you fresh, practical updates: match reports, player discipline news, and Dream11-style advice you can use right away. If you follow a team or play fantasy, this is where you'll find the short, useful reads that matter.
Recent highlights we covered include a high-profile on-field clash in the Boxing Day Test where Virat Kohli was fined by the ICC after an altercation with debutant Sam Konstas. That kind of news affects player availability and team morale — keep an eye on sanctions and demerit points because they can change lineups fast.
On the T20 front, our Vidarbha Pro T20 League Dream11 guide for PAS vs NMB breaks down the best fantasy picks for Match 13. We flagged the form players, key bowlers, and the pitch tendencies you should consider when setting your lineup. Short tips: favour all-rounders who bowl and bat, pick a reliable spinner if the pitch looks slow, and check the toss report before finalizing captains.
Want to turn news into wins? Here’s how to act on updates fast:
- Check disciplinary updates before lock time. If a player gets fined or suspended, remove them from your fantasy squad immediately.
- Watch for pitch and weather notes. Local warnings or coastal storms often mean slower surfaces or washed-out games. Swap in players who bowl in tricky conditions or those who can score quickly in short windows.
- Pick captains based on recent roles, not just reputation. If a player has shifted down the order or is being rested, their fantasy value drops even if they’re a big name.
- Use form and match context. In domestic T20s, bowlers who bowl at the death and batsmen who bat in the top four usually give consistent Dream11 points.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 clash saw India and Bangladesh go head-to-head in a gripping battle. Bangladesh, after a shaky start, managed to post a competitive score thanks to fifties from Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali, recovering from 35/5. In response, India aimed to make an assertive chase led by Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli, with questions hanging over the absence of Jasprit Bumrah in their bowling line-up.
