T20 captain: 54 off 32, 6 fours, 2 sixes
4 (XI) + 54 + 24 + 12 + 8 (fifty) + 4 (strike rate 168.75) = 106. Doubled as captain: 212.
Fantasy cricket points calculator (Dream11-style T20, ODI, Test)
Where fantasy points really come from
Wickets are the biggest single item: one is worth a 30-run innings. That is why a bowler who takes three can outscore a batter's fifty.
For a player's real record, use the batting average and bowling economy calculators.
Full points table: T20, ODI and Test
The scoring set used on this page is Dream11's published cricket point system for T20, ODI and Test matches, as listed below. Dream11 can change its rules, and its app is always final.
Only the highest batting milestone is paid (a century earns the 100 bonus, not 25 + 50 + 75 + 100 as well), and only the highest wicket haul.

Per-player breakdown, one T20 team
Four players from the same T20 match, worked by the calculator above. The multiplier is applied to the whole base total, after every rule.
| Player | Batting | Bowling | Fielding | XI | Base | Multiplier | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Opener: 54 (32), 6 fours, 2 sixes, captain | 102 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 106 | 2× | 212 |
| Bowler: 4–0–24–3 (1 bowled), 1 maiden, 10 dots | 0 | 126 | 0 | 4 | 130 | 1× | 130 |
| All-rounder: 28 (18) + 2–0–17–1 + 1 catch, vice-captain | 50 | 34 | 8 | 4 | 96 | 1.5× | 144 |
| Keeper: 0 (3), 2 catches, 1 stumping | -2 | 0 | 28 | 4 | 30 | 1× | 30 |
Captain and vice-captain
Your captain scores double and your vice-captain one and a half times their total. A captain with 80 base points is worth 160; the same player as vice-captain is worth 120, and as a normal pick 80.
Because negative points are multiplied too, a captain who makes a duck in a T20 loses 4 points, not 2. Pick the captain for a high floor as well as a high ceiling.
Bowlers' points are compared with batters' using the bowling economy calculator; a batter's strike-rate band comes from the batting average calculator.

What this calculator does not account for
- Rule changes: Dream11 updates its point system, and its app is final.
- Substitutes and impact players, which some contests score differently.
- Contest-specific bonuses or rules from other fantasy apps.
How this is calculated
Formula: Fantasy points
total =(batting + bowling + fielding + XI bonus) × multiplierWhat the symbols mean
- batting1 a run, +4 a four, +6 a six, one milestone bonus, a duck penalty and strike-rate points.
- bowling30 a wicket (20 in Tests), +8 for LBW or bowled, a haul bonus, maidens, dots and economy points.
- fielding8 a catch, 12 a stumping, 12 a direct-hit run out, 6 an assisted one.
- multiplier2 for captain, 1.5 for vice-captain, otherwise 1.
Good to know
- Only the highest batting milestone and the highest wicket haul are paid.
- Strike-rate points need 10 balls in T20 or 20 in ODI; economy points need 2 overs in T20 or 5 in ODI. Tests have neither.

Worked examples
Each example is worked out by the same code as the calculator above.
T20 bowler: 4-1-24-3, one bowled
4 + 90 (wickets) + 8 (bowled) + 4 (3-wicket bonus) + 12 (maiden) + 10 (dots) + 2 (economy 6) = 130.

Is this the official Dream11 calculator?
No. It is an independent calculator with scoring based on Dream11's published rules. Dream11's app decides the real points.
How much is a wicket worth?
30 points in T20 and ODI, 20 in Tests, plus 8 if it was LBW or bowled. Run outs earn the fielder points, not the bowler.
How do captain and vice-captain points work?
The captain's full total is doubled and the vice-captain's is multiplied by 1.5, after every other rule is applied.
Which scoring set does this page use?
Dream11's published cricket point system for T20, ODI and Test, as listed in the tables on this page. Check Dream11's point-system page for any change.
Do bowlers lose points for a duck?
No. The duck penalty applies to batters, wicketkeepers and all-rounders only.
Are negative points doubled for the captain?
Yes. The multiplier applies to the whole total, so a captain's penalties count double as well.
