UPPSALA, Sweden - Fastest Growing Sports Community Launches Second Fantasy Cricket League: Fantasy World Twenty20

Following the success of SportsPundit.com’s first online fantasy cricket tournament earlier this year, the world’s fastest growing online sports community, is launching Fantasy World Twenty20.

Based on the World Cup tournament, staged this year in England and running right through to the final match on 21 June, over 1,500 cricket fans are already actively participating in the competition.

During the Indian Premier League (IPL) over 7000 fans took part in SportPundit’s IPL League, ten times SportPundit’s target.

The competition’s top prize is a trip for two to watch a key cricket match this season for the highest scoring team manager. Further prizes include the official shirt of the favourite team awarded to the highest scoring manager each week.

Also, the mini-league with the highest average score at the end of the competition will be awarded ‘League of League Champions’, winning a cricket bat and ball for each mini-league member.

So how does Sports Pundit Twenty20 fantasy cricket work?

You can enter a team at any point during the competition. Gamers enter the online tournament through the Sports Pundit website fantasywt20.sportspundit.com/ and choose who they think would perform well on the cricket field.

Tournament gamers receive a fantasy budget to create their own ‘Fantasy Cricket Team’ of players in the series, scoring fantasy points based on their selected squad’s performance.

Entrants may only enter one team each, named and with a manager profile. Game players have a total budget of 35 fantasy stars to choose a team of: four bowlers; five batsmen; one wicket keeper and an all rounder.

Each player is valued between one and five stars (one star being less likely to play, five star being a key player) and their value is dependent on the team they play for and their contribution.

Gamers can either manually pick a team using their cricket knowledge or use the ‘Lucky Dip’ option when the computer picks a team. SportsPundit’s Fantasy World Twenty20 holds a daily transfer deadline prior to the fist match played each day.

Before this deadline, players can fine tune their fantasy team to suit their preference. Transfers made after the transfer window closes will be taken from the transfer allocation for that day.

SportsPundit Cricket and Fantasy expert, Suneer Chowdhary, says: “Fantasy World Twenty20 is capturing the imagination of cricket fans around the world. Building on the success of our first fantasy competition run during the IPL, we expect this summer’s competition to be even more hotly contested.

The fantasy competition allows gamers to play in the steps of their heroes and experience the real life action of the cricket field.” Chowdhary’s tips and advice are offered in his Fantasy Previews. fantasywt20.sportspundit.com/default.aspx?page=hints

Entrants can indulge their cricket fantasies online by joining their favourite team’s fan club and make their pick in the Fantasy World Twenty20. Furthermore, they can submit their personal opinion on their rivals, build their profile, socialise with friends, and win great prizes through the site.

It boasts one of the world’s largest public sports databases with a wide variety of current news and in-depth articles written by serious pundits.
