Howzat Fantasy App Breaking New Ground with Innovative Features

Fantasy sports are booming in India, with fantasy cricket being at the forefront of the revolution. Over 13 crore Indians play at least one fantasy game now. And to cater to them, there are a lot of fantasy apps in the market. Many promise much, but deliver little. The key elements – like an easy-to-use interface, ease of depositing and withdrawing money, and hassle-free registration – are often missing, with players having to navigate endless red tape just to get started or to withdraw their money. 

It’s no surprise then that Howzat has emerged as one of the most popular and trusted app to play fantasy games, endorsed by a select group of champion Indian cricketers. But instead of being happy with that popularity, Howzat has forged ahead and introduced a whole host of new features for the Indian T20 Fantasy League in 2022. No longer do you miss out if you were not able to form a team before the start of play. There are now so many more options that keep you playing till the last ball is bowled. Here, we look at some of the innovative Howzat features that have taken the fantasy cricket world by storm. 

Make Fantasy Teams For Only 4 Overs

Imagine you’ve been stuck in meetings all day, and you manage to tune in to the match only after it’s underway. Don’t worry; there are still enough ways to challenge yourself and your friends. Overs fantasy allows you to play based on a specific number of overs, and select a team for those overs only. You can choose overs 4-8, overs 10-14 or overs 16-20 in both innings. Your fantasy team, in this case, will have only 5 members and max 45 credits, and it’s not necessary to have at least 1 wicketkeeper, batter, bowler and all-rounder. If you want to go with just 2 batters, 2 bowlers and 1 all-rounder, you can do that. Just remember that you cannot pick more than 3 players from one team.

Make Your Fantasy Team Before The Start of 2^nd Innings

If your day was so busy that you couldn’t even select a fantasy XI before the match began, don’t worry. Howzat now allows you to play just the second innings. The only difference is that instead of an XI, you have to pick a Super 6 team with max 55 credits, and it’s not necessary to have at least 1 wicketkeeper, batter, bowler and all-rounder. If you want to go with just 2 batters, 2 bowlers and 1 all- . Again, you’re allowed a maximum of 4 players from one team. But it’s entirely up to you how you balance your side. If you want to go in without a wicketkeeper or all-rounder, you can. This really isn’t too different from playing a full match. If anything, what happened in the first innings will give you plenty of clues, especially in terms of what type of bowlers have been successful and which batters are likely to enjoy the conditions. 

Play Harbhajan's Favorite Contest - Bhajji’s Doosra

Harbhajan Singh, the Turbanator, is one of Howzat’s ambassadors. Bhajji’s Doosra allows you to play with him and other fantasy players. Each contest will have a limited number of entries. The pay-off is easy to calculate. If you’re one of the winners, you get back double your entry fee, whether that’s Rs. 50, 100, 200 or 500. If you enter the multiplier contests – with fewer winners – your entry fee will be multiplied by a factor of 3, 4 or 10. You’re allowed up to 8 entries per contest. 

Play The Most Popular Contest - Raina’s Favorite

Here, you usually have more players taking part, and the cash bonanza is spread around more as well. Even those who finish last usually get at least a discounted entry fee for a later contest. You’re allowed up to 20 entries for the Rs. 3 lakh prize pool (the entry fee is just 33 rupees) and 10 entries for the Rs. 1 lakh prize pool (you have to pay just Rs. 89 to participate). Obviously here, you’re not just taking on fellow fantasy players, but also Suresh Raina, who played number of key innings for India and Chennai in the past.

Follow The Match Live Score and Fantasy Score At Same Time

This latest innovation from Howzat means that your attention need not be diverted from screen to screen. The app itself gives you the live match score, and you can keep an eye on that and the progress made by your fantasy team at the same time. It goes without saying that your fantasy team points are also updated in real time. Even as the match scorecard shows you a 6 being hit or a wicket being taken, you can immediately see the difference it makes to your fantasy team’s fortunes.
