This time apart from predicting semis, finals you will be able to predict winner of each match (before that match begins). We will provide you with the link soon. If you fail to choose a winner for each match then a default will be chosen for you based on the teams ranking in the beginning of the tournament.

You will have to predict semis, finalists before the start of the tournament. There are no Quarter Finalists here. So instead You will have to predict the winner of the initial First Round (Group A and Group B) which will go on to Super-10.

Rules:
1 point for predicting correct winner of each game. (You can do this before start of each game on a link we will provide you)
1 point each for correct selection of winners in Group A and Group B (who will go on to Super10).
3 points each for correct selection of the teams in Semi Finals.
6 points each correct selection of the Two teams who will make the finals
10 points for correct selection of the winner!

1 bonus point for predicting the range of total runs scored (both teams combined) in the finals. Valid Ranges are : 101-150, 151-200, 201-250, 251-300, 301-350, 351-400, 401-450 and so on.

1 bonus point for predicting the range of total wickets (both teams combined) to fall in the finals. Valid Ranges are: 0-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20.

1 bonus point for predicting the range of total catches (both teams combined) in the finals. Valid Ranges are: 0-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20.

Add a comment to this post with your selections for each of those categories.

You can choose completely different teams for each category. For example even if you have chosen West Indies and Pakistan for Finals, you can choose Australia for the winner.

Prizes : 3
50% of the pool to the winner in points
35% of the pool to the runner up in points
15% of the pool to the third place in points

Notes:
1) If there is a tie on the number of points at any position (first, second, third) the reward will be split equally by the number of people at that position. So if 3 people have highest points at 25 and one person has second highest points at 20 then 50% of the total pool will be divided among first 3 and second highest person person in points will get 30% all to himself.
2) There will be 3 winning points positions declared. (example, 25, 23, 18). There could be any number of people at those winning points position. As noted above, rewards will be split in that case.
3) Only open to members of kutchvalley. No outsiders.

You can use the first comment as an example.
