The full scoring guide for fantasy cricket on indibet. Batting points, bowling points, fielding points, strike-rate and economy bonuses, and the captain and vice-captain multipliers.
The scoring system rewards specific match events — runs, wickets, catches, strike-rate and economy bonuses. We walk through each event and the points it converts to.
Batting points are the cleanest scoring rule in fantasy cricket. You score runs, you get points. Boundaries and milestones add bonuses. Strike-rate adds another bonus layer for the batters who score fast.
| Event | Points |
|---|---|
| 1 run | +1 |
| Boundary (4) | +4 |
| Six (6) | +6 |
| Half-century (50) | +4 |
| Century (100) | +8 |
| Duck (0) | -2 |
Bowling points are the highest-yield per-event in fantasy cricket. A wicket is 25 points. A bowled or LBW is 33. Three-wicket and five-wicket hauls add bonuses. Economy adds another bonus layer for bowlers who keep it tight.
| Event | Points |
|---|---|
| Wicket | +25 |
| LBW / bowled bonus | +8 |
| Maiden over | +4 |
| 3-wicket haul | +4 |
| 5-wicket haul | +8 |
Fielding points are the most under-used source of fantasy points. A catch is worth 8 points — that's 8 points for an action that happens outside the main role of most players. Run-outs are 12. Stumpings are 12.
The captaincy multiplier is the biggest scoring decision you make. Pick your captain from the highest-ceiling player on the surface. The vice-captain absorbs the captain's slack.
Earns double the base points. Pick from ceiling.
Earns 1.5x base points. Pick from a different role.
Standard base points. Build the role balance.
Beyond the per-event points, the scoring system layers bonuses for strike-rate, economy, milestones and team wins — and penalties for ducks and high-economy spells.
No — scoring rules differ across operators. Always check the operator's published scoring system before you build an XI.
Fielding. A catch is worth 8 points, and most fantasy readers don't pick for it.
Yes — the 2x captain multiplier compounds with half-century, century, three-wicket and five-wicket bonuses.
Read the operator's scoring page once before your first XI. The rules are short and worth memorising.
