The three steps
- Pick a fixture listed in the app —cricket, football, kabaddi, or basketball.
- Fill the side within credit limits. Captain scores 2×, vice-captain 1.5×.
- Join a free practice contest or a paid Mega, Hot, Multiplier, or head-to-head room.
Cricket XI notes
Cricket is the core sport. You select 11 players. Role mix (batters, bowlers, all-rounders, wicket-keeper) is shown on the team screen and can differ by format. Test, ODI, T20, and listed domestic T20 leagues use different point tables —a wicket in T20 is not weighted like a wicket in a Test. On selected games, Live Fantasy lets you join after start.

If the match is abandoned
Entry fees for that contest are returned. Winnings from completed matches credit to the in-app wallet. Withdrawal is a separate step to UPI or bank. Bonus cash can cut some entry fees and is not withdrawable.
Contest rooms
Free practice is the place to learn the save-team flow. Mega rooms have larger prize pools and more people. Hot rooms fill faster. Head-to-head is one opponent. Multiplier rooms, when listed, change the payout curve —read that card, do not assume it matches Mega. You can join more than one contest on the same fixture if the app allows it; each entry is a separate fee.
What this guide is not
It is not a prediction service and not a promise of profit. Researching form helps; injuries, toss, and rain still move scores. Play only if you are 18+ and cash fantasy is allowed where you live.
Do I need a new app for cricket vs football?
No. One First Games APK. Open Fantasy and pick the sport. Football, kabaddi, and basketball use the same cap-and-captain idea with sport-specific scoring.
Who is the brand ambassador?
