​

I've tried to match the pitches with the (real-life) pitches teams last played on (for each ground respectively) so that we can add more 'World Cup' essence to the league.

​

NOTE: Since toss makes a real impact on a match's outcome in real life, I've tried to involve its relevance in virtual simulation. But you guys might be wondering about how I'll get this working. So here's how..

First, I'll go to random.org which will randomly decide which of the two sides will be batting first. Then I'll simply tweak the ratings of the side which got the advantage and I'll sim until that side bats/bowls first.

Stats for India and UAE are a lil messed cause I think I forgot to erase their warm-up stats. So I'll message the screenshots of the excel file, which has stats of both the teams, to the respective managers. Sorry for the inconvinience.

Good to see us on top of the table.

Wow, just noticed that league's standings are quite similar to the real one.. with both New Zealand and India sitting on top unbeaten.

We rested our key players for the last match against UAE.
Now it's time to field a strong X1 against WI.
