IPL Fantasy Cricket: Your Match Preparation Guide
Prepare for IPL fantasy cricket with a clear route from the fixture to team selection, scoring and match records. Start with the checklist, then use the Hero11 guide that answers your next question. Hero11 Store prepares an IPL Fantasy entry from the fixture and the lock, not from a fixed team of names.

Prepare one IPL match in Hero11 Fantasy before the lock
IPL on Hero11 Store is a preparation route for a Fantasy cricket contest, not a promise about a playing XI. Start from the fixture, check who is available, then look at roles and the scoring notes, and stop when the contest locks. The team-selection checklist is the repeatable part. Hero11’s Android app, v1.13 in this guide, is where the contest list lives. Read the points guide when a batting or bowling score does not match what you expected during the match.
- Fixture first The match, the time, and the lock.
- Availability Who can actually play, checked again near the deadline.
- Scoring The contest’s points, read before you call a total wrong.
Read it in this order
- 1 Open the IPL contest Confirm it is the match you meant.
- 2 Run the checklist Roles and the deadline, in that order.
- 3 Leave edits at the lock A late change is a different problem from a points question.

Explore the Hero11 Sports guide →Single-match and season-long Fantasy need different plans
Talk of IPL fantasy can mean a contest on one match, a squad held for a whole season, or a league run by draft. Before any player is chosen, see whether the entry covers a single fixture or several, when changes become locked, and whether transfers or limits on the squad apply.
A player list that makes sense for one match may not fit a season-long format. Keep the chosen platform’s rules with the entry you are preparing. This Hero11 guide is separate from the Official IPL Fantasy service and does not use that service’s rules as Hero11 rules.
Have the facts of the match ready before the builder is opened
- Fixture: verify competition, season, teams, venue and date.
- Team information: separate a squad built for the season from the playing side that was announced and from substitutes who are named.
- Player role: weigh the batting position expected, the share of bowling, and any recent change in role.
- Contest conditions: review the player limits, the credits, the scoring, and the lock time which are on display.
Use the official IPL fixtures and results for the competition record. Then match that fixture to the one listed inside your chosen app. If it is not offered in Hero11, this guide does not create or confirm an available entry.
For that task, rely on the guide which covers scoring and timing
How team creation works
Follow the documented Hero11 sequence for match selection, team creation and a separate contest entry.
Read the Hero11 Fantasy walkthrough →How T20 points are calculated
Consult the dated reference for batting, for bowling, and for fielding, along with multipliers for the captain and an example already worked.

Keep points from a match distinct from Skill Score, from Fantasy Coins, and from details of rewards.

Following IPL through the Sports view?
A market under Sports and a player team under Fantasy may both point at one cricket fixture while still using conditions and records that differ. If the task is finding a league, reading labels on an event, or locating a record under Sports, follow the Hero11 Sports mobile steps.
Look for the actual fixture in the current list before continuing. A league name, past screenshot or live score on another website is not confirmation that a particular Hero11 market or video stream is available.
Keep the season information current
For squad and competition changes, consult the official IPL team pages and IPL news and announcements. Look again at dates on every match preview you rely on, because squad analysis from before the season is not a team confirmed for today.
This is an evergreen preparation directory. It does not publish live scores, today’s playing XI or a season-specific schedule. The linked competition pages handle those changing facts; the Hero11 guides explain the recorded app tasks.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the official IPL Fantasy website?
No. This is the IPL preparation directory on hero11.store, an independent Hero11 information and Android guide. The Official IPL Fantasy service has its own website and rules.
Can I copy a Dream11 or Official IPL Fantasy team into Hero11?
Use the current Hero11 contest’s player limits, credit budget and scoring. Different services or formats may use different conditions, so a team valid elsewhere may not fit the selected Hero11 contest.
Does this page provide today’s IPL team?
Steps for preparation, and guides related to them, are what it gives you, not a lineup in real time. Before a selection is put to use, check the latest information on the match and the team which has been announced.
Where can I check whether an IPL fixture is in Hero11?
Open Hero11 and look in the relevant Cricket section. Availability must be established from the current app list for your account; it is not confirmed by this directory.
