How to Build Winning Teams in Vision11’s Batting & Bowling Contests

Are you a cricket fan who’s tired of guessing your way through fantasy leagues? Do you want to stop losing out by just picking big-name players and hoping for the best?

If yes, then it’s time to get smarter—especially if you’re playing on Vision11.

Vision11 brings a unique twist to fantasy cricket with Batting-only and Bowling-only contests, giving everyone—from beginners to seasoned fantasy players—a fair chance to win big with focused strategies.

In this blog, we’ll show you how to build winning teams in these contest types and how to get the most out of your skills.

???? Why Vision11’s Batting & Bowling Contests Are Game-Changers

Traditional fantasy games combine batting, bowling, and fielding points. But let’s face it—not everyone follows every aspect of the game closely. Vision11’s Batting and Bowling Contests break things down into simpler, sharper formats:

In Batting Contests, only runs, strike rate, boundaries, and batting milestones matter.
In Bowling Contests, it’s all about wickets, economy, maidens, and bowling impact.

That means you only need to focus on one side of the game at a time—and that gives you a huge edge, especially if you follow specific players closely.

???? How to Win in Batting Contests

Let’s start with the strategies that can help you build a top-performing batting team:

1. Top-Order is Top Priority

Pick openers and No. 3 batters. Why? Because they’re most likely to:

Face more balls
Score more runs
Hit more boundaries

Avoid picking lower-order batters unless they’re known power hitters who regularly contribute in T20s or one-dayers.

2. Chase the Form, Not the Name

Just because someone is a big name doesn’t mean they’ll score every match. Check:

Their recent scores
Their average in the last 5 games
Head-to-head records against the opposition

Hot tip: Check Vision11’s pre-match stats—they help a lot.

3. Use Conditions to Your Advantage

If the pitch is slow or turning, runs might be limited. Pick players who can rotate strike and have good technique rather than just hitters.

But on flat, high-scoring grounds—bring in the six machines!

4. Captain = Consistency, VC = Explosiveness

In Batting Contests:

Make your Captain someone who scores consistently (like a No. 3 batter with good average).
Choose an explosive batter as Vice-Captain—someone who can score 50+ in 25 balls and give a big point boost.

???? How to Win in Bowling Contests

Now let’s break down the tricks for building a killer bowling team:

1. Pick Death-Over Bowlers

In T20s and ODIs, bowlers who bowl at the end have a high chance of taking wickets. Look for players who:

Bowl 18th to 20th overs
Can bowl yorkers or variations
Are used to pressure situations

Wickets = points. Simple.

2. Include a Spinner if Pitch Supports

If the match is being played on a slow or dry surface, spinners will play a big role. Look for:

Finger spinners who bowl in middle overs
Wrist spinners who can pick surprise wickets

3. Economy is Everything

Even if a bowler doesn’t take a lot of wickets, a tight spell with a low economy can earn good points in Vision11’s Bowling Contests.

Choose bowlers who don’t give away too many freebies.

4. Captain & Vice-Captain Combo

Make your Captain a consistent wicket-taker (like Jasprit Bumrah or Rashid Khan)
Make the Vice-Captain someone who can bowl economically and grab 1–2 wickets

This combo ensures a balance between high-risk and reliable return.

???? Practice in Low Entry Leagues First

One of the best things about Vision11 is their ₹1 and ₹5 entry contests. If you're trying these Batting/Bowling formats for the first time, start small.

This lets you:

Try new strategies
Learn from mistakes
Understand patterns

And if your picks click? Even better—you win and learn at the same time!

???? Extra Tips to Maximize Winnings

Check playing XI updates right before the match starts—Vision11 updates fast, so stay alert!
Track injuries or last-minute replacements
Always have a backup team with a few alternate players if you’re playing in multiple entry contests
Use the second innings feature if the first one didn’t go your way—it’s a great way to bounce back

???? Why Vision11 Stands Out

With millions of users across India, Vision11 has quickly grown into one of the most trusted fantasy platforms. But what really sets it apart is:

Unique contests like Batting-only, Bowling-only, Reverse Fantasy
Low entry fees for beginners
Fast withdrawals and a user-friendly app

It’s more than just luck—it’s a platform where smart players win real money.

✅ Final Thoughts

Fantasy cricket isn’t about being lucky. It’s about being sharp, aware, and smart with your picks.

Vision11’s Batting and Bowling contests give you the perfect chance to use your cricket knowledge and instincts to win. Whether you love watching top-order batters go wild or enjoy the thrill of a yorker in the death overs—there’s a contest for you.

So, build that dream team, trust your gut, and step up your fantasy game.
