Fantasy Cricket Scoring Rules
Clear and detailed scoring policy for all players. This page is public and read-only.
This page is read-only. Rules are shown so every user can understand how fantasy points are calculated. A player's points are calculated from recorded match statistics and deliveries. Captain/vice-captain multipliers are applied to the player's final points when calculating the fantasy team's total.
1. Batting points
Points awarded to a batter for runs and batting milestones.
| Action | Points | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Each run scored | +1 per run | Runs credited to the batter. |
| Each four hit | +1 extra | Added on top of the four runs. |
| Each six hit | +2 extra | Added on top of the six runs. |
| Half-century (50–99) | +8 milestone | Awarded once when the batter finishes on 50 to 99 runs. |
| Century (100+) | +16 milestone | Replaces the half-century milestone; both are not added together. |
| Duck | −2 | Applied when the recorded batter statistic marks the player as out for zero. |
2. Strike-rate bonus
Calculated as batter runs ÷ balls faced × 100, when at least one ball is faced.
| Strike rate | Bonus points |
|---|---|
| 100 or lower | +10 |
| Above 100 up to 150 | +20 |
| Above 150 up to 200 | +30 |
| Above 200 | +50 |
The current engine applies this tier to any batter with at least one ball faced; it does not enforce a minimum-ball threshold.
3. Batting milestone bonus
This is an additional milestone layer currently applied by the scoring engine, separate from the batting milestone above.
| Final runs | Additional bonus |
|---|---|
| 30–49 | +5 |
| 50–99 | +10 |
| 100 or more | +20 |
Only the highest tier in this section applies. Because this section is separate from the +8/+16 batting milestone, both applicable bonuses are currently counted.
4. Bowling points
Points credited from wickets, maiden overs and economy rate.
| Action | Points | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Wicket credited to bowler | +25 each | Run outs and retired hurt are not credited as bowler wickets. |
| Bowled dismissal | +8 extra | Additional bonus to the bowler for each dismissal recorded specifically as Bowled. |
| Maiden over | +12 each | Based on the maiden-over count in the recorded player stats. |
| 3-wicket haul | +10 extra | One haul bonus when the bowler takes 3 or 4 wickets. |
| 5-wicket haul | +20 extra | The +20 tier replaces the +10 haul tier; they are not added together. |
| Wides conceded | −1 per wide | Deducted from the bowler's points. |
| No-balls conceded | −1 per no-ball | Deducted from the bowler's points. |
5. Economy-rate bonus
Economy = runs conceded ÷ overs bowled. The current engine applies a tier after any positive number of legal balls.
| Economy rate | Bonus points |
|---|---|
| 8.5 or higher | +10 |
| 7.0 to below 8.5 | +20 |
| 6.0 to below 7.0 | +30 |
| Below 6.0 | +50 |
The current engine does not require a minimum number of overs before this bonus is applied.
6. Fielding points
| Action | Points |
|---|---|
| Catch | +8 |
| Stumping | +12 |
| Run-out credited to fielder | +6 |
7. Captain and vice-captain
The captain receives double their calculated player points.
The vice-captain receives one-and-a-half times their calculated player points.
8. How fantasy team points are calculated
- Points are calculated for each player from their recorded batting, bowling and fielding stats.
- Any applicable bonuses and deductions are included, including the +8 Bowled dismissal bonus for the bowler.
- The captain's points are multiplied by 2 and the vice-captain's by 1.5.
- The adjusted points of all players in the fantasy team are added to get the team total.
- Contest entries are ranked by total points, highest first. If points tie, the earlier entry is placed first in the current ranking logic.
Points are recalculated when recorded match deliveries/statistics are recalculated. Rules are read-only here and cannot be edited from this page.
