Step-by-step

How to complete this action

  1. 01

    Understand the batting point categories

    Batters earn 1 point per run, 4 for a boundary four, 6 for a six, 8 for 30 runs, 4 for a half-century milestone, and SR bonuses for high strike rates. Duck (0 runs out) = -2.

  2. 02

    Understand the bowling point categories

    Bowlers earn 25 per wicket, 8 for LBW/Bowled bonuses, 4 for 3-wicket haul, 8 for 4-wicket haul, 4 for maiden over, and economy bonuses for restrictive spells. Wides/no-balls = -1/-1.

  3. 03

    Understand the fielding point categories

    Fielders earn 8 per catch, 12 per stumping, 12 per direct run-out, 6 per assist run-out, and 6 for a catch in the deep with the batter out for 50+.

  4. 04

    Understand the captain & vice-captain multipliers

    Captain = 2x points, Vice-captain = 1.5x points. These multipliers are applied to the player's total points (batting + bowling + fielding).

  5. 05

    Understand the strike rate bonus

    Batters with a strike rate above 170 earn a +6 bonus; SR 150-170 = +4; SR 130-150 = +2; SR 50-70 = -2; SR below 50 = -4 (minimum 10 balls faced).

  6. 06

    Understand the economy rate bonus

    Bowlers with economy below 5 earn a +6 bonus; econ 5-6 = +4; econ 6-7 = +2; econ 10-11 = -2; econ above 11 = -4 (minimum 2 overs bowled).

  7. 07

    Calculate a sample player score

    Example: a batter scores 50 off 30 balls (SR 167) with 4 fours and 2 sixes. Runs (50) + fours (16) + sixes (12) + half-century (4) + SR 150-170 bonus (4) = 86 points. As captain: 172 points.

Frequently asked questions

What is a duck in fantasy cricket?

A duck is when a batter is dismissed for zero runs. The standard penalty is -2 points. Some operators (Dream11) differentiate between a 'golden duck' (out first ball) and a regular duck, with a higher penalty for the golden duck. Verify on the official app.

What is the strike rate bonus?

The strike rate bonus rewards batters who score quickly. SR above 170 = +6, SR 150-170 = +4, SR 130-150 = +2. The penalty for slow scoring: SR 50-70 = -2, SR below 50 = -4. The bonus/penalty applies only if the batter has faced 10+ balls.

What is the economy rate bonus?

The economy bonus rewards bowlers who restrict runs. Econ below 5 = +6, econ 5-6 = +4, econ 6-7 = +2. Penalty: econ 10-11 = -2, econ above 11 = -4. The bonus/penalty applies only if the bowler has bowled 2+ overs.

What is the captain multiplier?

Your captain earns 2x points — applied to the player's total (batting + bowling + fielding). A captain who scores 100 raw fantasy points contributes 200 to your team total. The captain is the highest-leverage pick in any fantasy team.

What is the maximum team score?

A perfect 11-player team scores 1,100 raw points (100 each, on average). With a 2x captain and 1.5x vice-captain, the max with multipliers is around 1,200. In practice, top-1% finishes in mega contests require 380+ and top-0.1% requires 420+.

Do wickets count for the bowling bonus?

Yes. Bowlers earn 25 per wicket, 8 for LBW/Bowled, 4 for a 3-wicket haul, 8 for a 4-wicket haul, and 4 for a maiden over. A 5-wicket haul adds 16. The bonuses stack — a 4-wicket haul with 3 maidens and 8 economy bonus = a huge single-match score.

Do catches and stumpings count?

Yes. Fielders earn 8 per catch, 12 per stumping (wicketkeeper only), 12 per direct run-out, 6 per assist run-out, and 6 for a catch in the deep dismissing a batter on 50+.

What is a 'milestone' bonus?

The milestone bonus is awarded for reaching round scoring figures. 30 runs = +4 points, 50 runs = +8, 100 runs = +16. For bowlers: 3 wickets = +4, 4 wickets = +8, 5 wickets = +16. The bonus is in addition to the per-run and per-wicket points.

Do wides and no-balls count against the bowler?

Yes. Wides and no-balls cost the bowler -1 each. The runs from wides/no-balls are not added to the bowler's figures but are added to the team's total.

What is the impact player rule?

The impact player is a substitute named in advance. If the impact player is activated, they earn fantasy points like any other player. The original player is removed from your team (and you can swap them for a bench player if the operator allows).
