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.

Worked scorecard example

Consider an all-rounder who bats and bowls in the same match:

Batting: 44 runs from 30 balls, three fours, two sixes, not out.

Base runs: 44 pts, boundary bonus 3 pts, six bonus 4 pts, no fifty bonus.
Strike rate: 44/30 = 146.7 — above 130 SR threshold, earns +2.
Batting subtotal: 53 pts

Bowling: 3 wickets (one bowled), 4 overs, 28 runs conceded. Economy 7.00.

Wicket base: 75 pts, bowled bonus 8 pts, 3-wicket haul bonus 4 pts.
Economy 7.00 falls in a neutral band (under 7 earns a bonus).
Bowling subtotal: 87 pts

Fielding: one catch.

Catch: 8 pts.

Total: 148 pts — a very strong all-rounder contribution. The tool shows each line of this breakdown so you can immediately see where the points are and are not coming from, which helps you decide whether a player is worth the captain slot.

Choosing captain and vice-captain

The base total this tool returns does not include captain or vice-captain multipliers — that is intentional. Apply them yourself: captain earns 2× and vice-captain 1.5×. A player projected at 100 pts as captain delivers 200, versus 130 as vice-captain. The difference between a good captain pick and an average one can swing a contest by 100 or more points on a strong performance day.

Which statistics move the needle most

In T20 fantasy scoring, wickets are the highest value discrete event (25 base plus potential bonuses of 8 + 4/8/12). A bowler taking 4 wickets in an economy-efficient spell can outscore an opener who hits 60, once economy bonus and haul bonus stack. For batters, the combination of a fifty (or century) bonus with a high strike rate bonus is where the ceiling sits — a batter scoring quickly compounds boundary, milestone, and rate bonuses simultaneously. Fielding catches are small individually but a wicketkeeper with multiple stumpings can add significant points in a single match.
