Live Matches · Retrospective
Three years on from the inaugural ICC U19 Women's T20 World Cup, the four-wicket upset at Potchefstroom on 23 January 2023 still reads as the tournament's most striking result: a side from Kigali bundling out West Indies for 70, then calmly closing a chase that wobbled to 40 for six.
Newest posts from all hubs, automatically refreshed after publishing.
Three reasons 9,000+ Indian fantasy players switched to Quriousbit in the last 12 months.
Our commission cap is 6% on small leagues (under 1,000 entries), versus the 10-12% industry norm. The saving goes back into prize pools, so a ₹50 entry on Quriousbit pays 8% more than the same contest on the bigger apps.
First withdrawal of the week clears in 6 hours median, with a 24-hour SLA. We don't batch payouts overnight like the bigger apps — your winnings reach your bank the same evening you win them.
Our guides, captain picks, and pitch reports are written by 4 staff journalists, not affiliate chasers. Every paid placement is labelled. The captain pick we recommend is the one we'd pick ourselves with our own money.

The marquee season. The one every fantasy cricket player in India plans around. Here's how to approach it on Quriousbit.
IPL 2026 runs from late March to late May with 10 franchises playing 74 league matches before the playoffs. The temptation for new fantasy players is to enter every match. The data says no — winners concentrate entries in 18 to 24 matches, not all 74.
Our six-window approach splits the season into two-week blocks. The first window (matches 1-12) is for cheap contests, learning the platform, and tracking which team combinations are paying out. The second window (matches 13-26) is the first big-money stretch. From there, each window is a re-balance based on form, injuries, and the impact of mid-season player auctions.
We publish a free PDF planner at the start of every season. It includes the contest tier (entry size), the captain-pick theme, and the contest type (mega, head-to-head, practice) we recommend for each window. Download it from the IPL 2026 hub page.
The Quriousbit app for IPL 2026 ships with three new features: a venue-adjusted projection model, a one-tap captain switch for the second innings, and a contest simulator that lets you run 1,000 virtual lineups against a match scenario before committing real money.
The app is 18MB on Android (8.0+) and 22MB on iOS (14+). It installs in under a minute and the data-light mode uses 60% less mobile data than the bigger apps, which matters on match day at the stadium.
Download links: Android APK direct, iOS App Store, plus a PWA option for users who'd rather not install an app. The PWA version keeps the contest screen and live scorecard but skips the in-app chat.
A short answer for first-time visitors who found us via a Google search, a friend's referral, or a cricket blog comment thread.

I switched from My11Circle to Quriousbit in February 2026 for the lower commission. In my first month I won three contests totalling ₹18,400, and the UPI withdrawal cleared in 4 hours 12 minutes. The small-league format means I'm not competing against 50,000 entries.

I'm a stats nerd so I built 14 team variants for the T20 World Cup warm-ups using the Quriousbit differential picks from the editorial blog. Finished 2nd overall, won ₹34,200. The 1-tap second-innings swap feature rescued two entries.

I had never played fantasy cricket before February 2026. The GOQB150 bonus code gave me ₹250 to start with, and I won ₹4,800 in my third contest. Currently 14th on the all-time leaderboard. The editorial captain picks are what I follow every match.

Three screens from the Quriousbit Android and iOS app that you'll use on every match day during the IPL 2026 season. The app is 18MB on Android, 22MB on iOS, and uses 60% less mobile data than the bigger apps in data-light mode.

Ball-by-ball live scorecard, fantasy points updating in real time with a 6-second end-to-end latency, and the second-innings swap feature that can rescue an underperforming entry in one tap during the death overs.

Open PWAThree new posts every week: Monday captain picks, Wednesday strategy deep-dive, Friday post-match recap. The archive goes back to April 2024.
Reputation captain picks lose money. We crunched 462 matches across 4 seasons to show in-form top-order batters outperform marquee all-rounders 73% of the time.
The three phrases Indian groundsmen use most, translated into fantasy team decisions. With 11 worked examples from the IPL 2026 season.
The 2021 Supreme Court ruling settled it: fantasy is a skill game. We map the TDS, GST, and state-level rules that every Indian player should understand.
Quriousbit Games is a skill-game platform and is legal in 26 of 28 Indian states. It is not available in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Assam, Odisha, Sikkim, or Nagaland due to state-level rules. We geo-block these states at signup.
Minimum deposit is ₹100 via UPI, ₹200 via IMPS, and ₹500 via cards or netbanking. The first deposit unlocks the GOQB150 bonus (100% match up to ₹150).
UPI withdrawals clear in 6 to 24 hours. IMPS in 30 minutes (for banks that support it). NEFT in 1 business day. First withdrawal per week is fee-free; subsequent withdrawals have a ₹10 platform fee.
No. Quriousbit is a free-to-play platform with optional paid contests. You can build unlimited practice teams and enter free contests without ever adding money. Credit cards are never required.
If a match is abandoned before the first innings is complete, all contests are voided and entry fees are refunded to the wallet within 1 hour. If the match is reduced-overs but completes, contest points stand and are scaled by the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern factor where applicable.
