Welcome to the Second Annual BigCricket Fantasy Cup TwentyFive25 Tournament!!!
The tournament is just a week away, and this will be the place to come for anything to do with build-up, games, ladders, stats, and of course, general trash talking and sledging as well. The Kandy Lions won everything last year, and as such they will be hosting both the tournament, and the All-Star match. It should be a good one!
