The last 1 finished matches with a captain pick, from the stored scorecards: what our captain scored and took, next to the match's top run-scorer and wicket-taker.

How we pick

Full fantasy pages use only the announced squads, our own records of past matches at the venue (average first-innings score, wins batting first and chasing) and the teams' recent results and head-to-head. Every page and preview is fact-checked before it is published. Squads are not confirmed playing XIs until the toss, so check the line-ups before the deadline. Times are in IST.
