Once the Super Eights kicks off, one has to wait till 4.30 pm everyday to watch the first match of the day, which would be followed by the next game at 7.30 pm.

Hold on, there could be more fun you can have than that, if you just log on to one of these websites, either on your PCs, laptops, tablets or on your mobile devices.

There are so many games revolving around cricket, which is almost a religion in this part of the world, but a vast majority of these are just about putting the bat to the ball. But some games do break away from the norm, and serve as a ultimate test of your knowledge of the game and strategizing abilities.

Are you rubbing your hands in glee, and can't wait to try some of these games? Just take a look at these websites.

The famous cricket website, Cricinfo, has devised its very own strategy game, Fantasy League, which asks you to put together your dream eleven, comprising cricketers from different countries/teams. To start with, every player is granted a certain number of points/value/weightage against their names based on their current form and recent performances. As in IPL auctions, your eleven has a pre-budgeted aggregate value of one million points.

Eventually, based on their overall performances in the tournament, their points will either appreciate or depreciate, for which you would reap due rewards. Try the game here: http://bit.ly/S5Zs4H.
