Build your Playing XI live
You and your opponent draft together in real time before the match. The board changes after every pick, so strategy cannot be copy-pasted from a public team.
Private 1v1 contests
Challenge friends when you want a personal rivalry. Private contests keep the focus on two cricket brains, not a leaderboard of identical squads.
Instant matchmaking
No friend online? Match with cricket fans worldwide and still play a fair exclusive draft.
No duplicate player picks
A selected player is locked for the rest of the contest. You cannot clone your opponent’s XI, and they cannot clone yours.
30-second draft timer
Turns stay honest. If you miss the window, the pick moves on. Preparation beats panic.
Live scoring
Fantasy points follow real match performance, with leaderboard updates as the innings develop.
PickXI vs traditional fantasy cricket
The gap is not “another cricket app.” It is whether two people can own the same superstar.
| Rule | Traditional fantasy | PickXI |
|---|---|---|
| Team uniqueness | Many users can pick the same XI | Two completely different Playing XIs |
| Player availability | Stars can appear in every squad | Once picked, the player is locked |
| Contest shape | Large pools, similar teams | Head-to-head 1v1 draft |
| Decision speed | Mostly pre-match templates | Live turns with a 30-second timer |
| Money | Often built around entry fees and prize pools | No entry fee, no prizes, 100% free |
100% skill-based, 100% free
PickXI is designed for players who love cricket tactics, squad building, and fair competition. There is no entry fee, no prizes, no gambling, and no real-money wagering. Outcomes come from who you drafted, who you denied your opponent, and how those players performed.
The interface stays light on purpose: choose a match, draft, watch scores. Regular updates add polish without turning the game into a cluttered marketplace.
