How many points is a wicket worth on Dream11?

In the T20 format a wicket that is not a run out is worth 25 points. An LBW or bowled dismissal adds an 8-point bonus, and taking three, four, or five wickets unlocks haul bonuses of 4, 8, or 12 points respectively.

How does the strike-rate bonus work?

The strike-rate bonus only applies once a batter has faced at least 10 balls in T20. A strike rate above 170 earns plus 6, the mid-range is neutral, and a strike rate under 50 costs minus 6, rewarding fast scoring and penalising slow innings.

Are captain and vice-captain multipliers included?

No. This calculator returns a player's base points. In your actual team the captain scores twice their points and the vice-captain 1.5 times, so apply those multipliers separately to the two players you select.

What is the duck penalty?

A batter, wicketkeeper, or all-rounder dismissed for zero loses 2 points. Bowlers are exempt. The penalty only applies if the player actually faced a ball and was out, not if they finished not out on zero.

Do these rules apply to ODIs and Tests too?

This tool uses the T20 scoring set, which is the most popular format. One-day and Test matches use different milestone thresholds and strike-rate or economy bands, so the totals would differ for those formats.

Fantasy cricket rewards all-round contribution: runs, boundaries, wickets, economy, and sharp fielding all add up. This calculator turns a player’s match scorecard into a fantasy total using Dream11’s published T20 scoring rules.

How it works

Points accumulate across four areas, with bonus tiers layered on top of the base counts:

Batting:  +1 per run, +1 per four, +2 per six,
          +4 at 30, +4 at 50, +8 at 100, -2 duck
Bowling:  +25 per wicket, +8 LBW/bowled, haul bonuses 4/8/12,
          +12 per maiden
Bonuses:  strike-rate bands (>=10 balls), economy bands (>=2 overs)
Fielding: +8 catch, +12 stumping, +12 direct run out, +6 assist

The strike-rate and economy bonuses only switch on once the player clears the minimum balls faced or overs bowled, which stops small samples from skewing the score.

Notes and example

An opener who makes 62 from 41 balls with six fours and three sixes scores 62 for runs, 6 for boundaries, 6 for sixes, a 4-point fifty bonus, and a strike-rate bonus, plus 8 for a catch in the field. A wicket-laden bowling spell stacks 25 points per wicket with haul and economy bonuses on top. The tool shows every line so you can see exactly where the points come from. Remember that your captain doubles and your vice-captain multiplies by 1.5, so apply those multipliers to the two chosen players after reading their base totals here.
