Fantasy Sports Platforms: Are They Legitimate?

Fantasy sports have become increasingly popular in recent years, with millions of people around the world playing them. However, there is some debate about whether or not fantasy sports are legitimate. Some people believe that they are simply a form of gambling, while others argue that they are a game of skill.

There is no easy answer to this question, as it depends on how you define "gambling." If you define gambling as any activity where you risk money on an uncertain outcome, then fantasy sports could be considered gambling. However, if you define gambling as an activity where the outcome is determined purely by chance, then fantasy sports are not gambling.

The outcome of a fantasy sports game is not determined purely by chance. It is also influenced by the skill of the players in choosing their teams and managing their lineups. This is why fantasy sports are often referred to as "games of skill."

In the United States, fantasy sports are legal in most states. However, there are a few states where they are illegal. In India, fantasy sports are also legal. The Federation of Indian Fantasy Sports (FIFS) is the governing body for fantasy sports in India. FIFS has a set of guidelines that all fantasy sports platforms must follow in order to be considered legal.

So, are fantasy sports legitimate? The answer is yes, they are. Fantasy sports are a game of skill, and they are legal in most countries. If you are interested in playing fantasy sports, there are many reputable platforms that you can choose from.

Here are some of the reasons why fantasy sports are legitimate:The outcome of a fantasy sports game is not determined purely by chance. It is also influenced by the skill of the players in choosing their teams and managing their lineups.

India vs Australia, Third ODI, Match Prediction, Fantasy Playing XI

 

India and Australia square off in the final ODI of the series after high-scoring matches in Sydney. Australia has taken a 2-0 unassailable lead in the three-matches series. 

Team Preview 

Australia will face Team India in the third ODI of the series with an eye for the clean sweep in the three-matches ODI series. The finch-led side showed dominance in Sydney to outperform Men In Blue. Smith scored 62-balls hundred in both matches, and India failed to chase despite scoring 300 in both matches. 

Kohli’s troops have reached Canberra to change their fortune. They would avoid another clean sweep this year as Team India recently suffered a 3-0 defeat against New Zealand Down Under. It will be the second time in history when India will receive a clean sweep in a three-matches ODI series if Australia wins the last ODI on Wednesday. 

India is not picking wickets in the powerplay, and they are conceding runs at 10 runs per over in flag-overs. From 31-50, Australia is scoring 200 runs, which creates a boost to the final score. Pandya bowled four overs in the last outing, but he is not fully fit for bowling due to his last year’s injury. 

Kuldeep Yadav can earn a place in the XI, replacing Yuzvendra Chahal. Mayank Agarwal might be dropped, and KL Rahul can open with Dhawan. Manish Pandey can find himself in middle-order. Kohli can also handover the ODI cap to Natarajan, who had great success in Indian T20 League this year. Team India have been whitewashed in a three-match ODI series only once in history, and it happened this year in New Zealand Down Under. 

On the other hand, Australia are in top form after edging past the world’s top-two ODI sides, England and India. Aussies get a perfect start from openers, and Smith takes charge in middle-overs, followed by the acceleration in death from Maxwell. India had no clue to break this story. 

Pat Cummins has been rested for this fixture, and Andrew Tye might replace him in the final ODI. Short will replace Warner, who has been ruled of the white-ball series. Andrew Tye will be the third seamer for the Aussies in the final ODI. D'arcy Short can open with Finch, or  Langer can promote Labuschagne up in the order. Cameron Green can also earn the Australian cap. 

Pitch Report 

The Manuka Oval is one of the finest batting ground and if offers good assistance to the batsmen. We might expect another 300 plus score on Wednesday. Batting first sides will have an advantage. 

Possible XI 

Australia 

Marnus Labuschagne, Aaron Finch (c), Steve Smith, D’Archy Short/Mathew Wade, Moises Henriques, Alex Carey (wk), Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Adam Zampa, Andrew Tye 

India

Supernovas vs Velocity | Indian Women’s T20 2020 | Match Prediction

 

Harmanpreet Kaur’s Supernovas and Mithali’s Velocity face off in the opening game of the Indian Women’s T20 2020 in Sharjah. 

Team Preview 

After going head to head in last year’s final, Supernovas and Velocity start the new season of Indian Women’s T20. Covid and the clash with ongoing Australian Big Bash, Australia, and England’s players will be missed this time but BCCI has included some players from other countries such as Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. After the maiden WT20 Final, it would be a big tournament for the Indian players to start their competitive cricket in the pandemic. 

Supernovas have two important spinners Radha Yadav and Poonam Yadav who can outclass any opposition on the spinning tracks. Chamari Atapattu and Siriwardene are the big boosts to the side in the all-around section. Jemimah might be promoted up in the order with Priya Punia. Khaka can start with the new ball after looking back at her numbers in the last one year. Harman guided Supernovas to a maiden title with a brilliant half-century in the final. She will play a sheet-anchor in middle-overs and push herself in the finishing role as well.  

For Velocity, Sharjah would suit their playing style. Mithali and Veda have enough experience. Both players are used to the spin. The top-scorer for India in WT20 2020, Shefali can give acceleration in the powerplay. Danielle Wyatt has recently appeared in England’s domestic ODI tournament and produced two half-centuries in two matches. Mithali can promote her in the top-order. 

Pitch Report 

Sharjah’s surface is a spin-dominating track. The match will be played on the used surface, and on such tracks, we expect a low-scoring game in Women’s T20s. Women players generally don’t produce enough bounce, so both sides can try spinners from the first ball.

Possible XI 

Supernovas 

Priya Punia, Jemimah Rodrigues,Harmanpreet Kaur, Chamari Atapattu, Anuja Patil, Radha Yadav, Taniya Bhatia, Shashikala Siriwardene, Poonam Yadav, Shakera Selman, Ayushi Soni, Ayabonga Khaka, Pooja Vastrakar, Arundhati Reddy, Muskan Malik

Velocity 

Mithali Raj, Veda Krishnamurthy, Shafali Verma, Sushma Verma, Ekta Bisht, Shikha Pandey, Devika Vaidya, Sushree Dibyadarshini, Manali Dakshini, Leigh Kasperek, Danielle Wyatt, Sune Luus, Jahanara Alam, M Anagha

Key Players 

Supernovas 

Poonam Yadav 

WT20 2020 - M: 5, Wickets: 10, Avg: 11.90 

Shashikala Siriwardene

WT20 2020 - M: 4, Wickets: 7, Avg: 14.14  

Velocity

Shefali Verma 

WT20 2020 - M: 5, Runs: 163, Avg: 32.60
