Key takeaways
- A wicket is worth 30 points in T20 and ODI, plus 8 more if it is bowled or LBW — the biggest single action in Drem11 cricket.
- A four is worth 5 points (1 run + 4 bonus) and a six 12 points (1 run + 6 bonus).
- Batting milestones are not added together — a batter on 62 gets the 50-run bonus only.
- Dot balls earn bowlers 1 point each in T20, ODI and T10; a T20 maiden is worth 12.
- Captain scores 2x and vice-captain 1.5x in every format.
How Drem11 scoring works
On Drem11 you pick eleven players for a real match. Each of them earns points from what they actually do in that match: runs and boundaries, wickets and dot balls, catches and run-outs. Your team's total is the sum of your eleven players, with your captain's points doubled and your vice-captain's multiplied by 1.5.
The tables below cover the main cricket formats on Drem: T20 (including the IPL), ODI, Test and T10. The rest of this guide focuses on T20, the format of the IPL.
Batting points
| Action | T20 | ODI | Test | T10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Each run | +1 | +1 | +1 | +1 |
| Boundary bonus (four) | +4 | +4 | +4 | +4 |
| Six bonus | +6 | +6 | +6 | +6 |
| 25 runs | +4 | +4 | +4 | +8 |
| 50 runs | +8 | +8 | +8 | +12 |
| 75 runs | +12 | +12 | +12 | +16 |
| 100 runs | +16 | +16 | +16 | +20 |
| 125 runs | — | +20 | +20 | — |
| 150 runs | — | +24 | +24 | — |
| Duck (out for 0) | −2 | −3 | −4 | −2 |
| Strike-rate points | Yes (min. 10 balls) | Yes | No | Yes |
Milestones do not add up. A batter only gets the bonus for the highest milestone he reaches. Make 62 in a T20 and you get the 50-run bonus (+8), not 25 + 50. Make 100 and you get +16, not every bonus on the way.
Boundaries are worth a lot. With the bonus, a four is worth 5 points and a six 12 points. A batter who scores 40 in boundaries can out-score one who makes 50 by running hard.
Bowling points
| Action | T20 | ODI | Test | T10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dot ball | +1 | +1 | — | +1 |
| Wicket (not run-out) | +30 | +30 | +20 | +30 |
| Bonus for bowled or LBW | +8 | +8 | +8 | +8 |
| 2-wicket bonus | — | — | — | +4 |
| 3-wicket bonus | +4 | — | — | +8 |
| 4-wicket bonus | +8 | +4 | +4 | +12 |
| 5-wicket bonus | +12 | +8 | +8 | +16 |
| 6-wicket bonus | — | +12 | +12 | — |
| Maiden over | +12 | +4 | — | +16 |
| Economy-rate points | Yes (min. 2 overs) | Yes | No | Yes |
Two things stand out. First, a wicket is worth 30 points in T20 — 38 if the batter is bowled or LBW. So a bowler who takes two or three wickets can match a batter's half-century. Second, dot balls score: a bowler who keeps the batters quiet earns points even without a wicket. Leg-byes and byes also count as dot balls for the bowler.
Fielding points
| Action | T20, ODI, T10 | Test |
|---|---|---|
| Catch | +8 | +8 |
| 3-catch bonus | +4 | — |
| Stumping | +12 | +12 |
| Run-out (direct hit) | +12 | +12 |
| Run-out (not a direct hit) | +6 | +6 |
The 3-catch bonus is paid once: six catches still earn +4, not +8. A direct hit only counts when the player who threw the ball is the only fielder to touch it; otherwise the run-out points go to the last two fielders involved.
Strike rate and economy (T20)
In T20, batters who face at least 10 balls earn or lose points for their strike rate, and bowlers who bowl at least 2 overs earn or lose points for their economy rate.
| Strike rate (runs per 100 balls) | Points |
|---|---|
| Above 170 | +6 |
| 150.01–170 | +4 |
| 130–150 | +2 |
| 60–70 | −2 |
| 50–59.99 | −4 |
| Below 50 | −6 |
| Economy rate (runs per over) | Points |
|---|---|
| Below 5 | +6 |
| 5–5.99 | +4 |
| 6–7 | +2 |
| 10–11 | −2 |
| 11.01–12 | −4 |
| Above 12 | −6 |
Rates between the bands score nothing either way. Drem's general rules also contain a line saying strike-rate penalties apply only at 50 or below, which does not match the table above — if this matters for a pick, check the latest wording in the app.
Captain, vice-captain and line-up points
| Item | All formats |
|---|---|
| Captain | 2x points |
| Vice-captain | 1.5x points |
| Named in the announced playing XI | +4 |
| Substitute who comes on (concussion, X-Factor or Impact Player) | +4 |
A player named in the line-up who then does not play earns nothing; the player who replaces him scores normally, including the line-up points. A substitute who is announced but never comes on scores nothing.
Two worked T20 examples
An opener who makes 62 off 35 balls, with 6 fours and 3 sixes:
| Item | Points |
|---|---|
| 62 runs | 62 |
| Boundary bonus (6 × 4) | 24 |
| Six bonus (3 × 6) | 18 |
| 50-run bonus | 8 |
| Strike rate 177 | 6 |
| Named in playing XI | 4 |
| Total | 122 |
A bowler with figures of 4-0-28-3 (two bowled or LBW, one caught) and 10 dot balls:
| Item | Points |
|---|---|
| 3 wickets (3 × 30) | 90 |
| Bowled/LBW bonus (2 × 8) | 16 |
| 3-wicket bonus | 4 |
| 10 dot balls | 10 |
| Economy 7.00 | 2 |
| Named in playing XI | 4 |
| Total | 126 |
A good bowling day is worth as much as a fast fifty. That is the most important thing to understand about Drem11 scoring.
What this means for your team
- Don't fill your team with batters. With 30 points a wicket and points for every dot ball, frontline bowlers who bowl their four overs are strong picks — and strong captain options on bowler-friendly pitches. See how to read the pitch.
- Prefer hitters at the top of the order. Boundary bonuses and strike-rate points reward batters who score quickly, especially in the powerplay.
- All-rounders score both ways. A player who bats in the top six and bowls four overs has two routes to points, which makes him a safe captain or vice-captain.
- Keepers get catches and stumpings. A wicket-keeper who also opens or bats at three is one of the best-value picks. More in team building.
- Always wait for the line-ups. A player who does not play scores zero. Update your team after the toss — the IPL fantasy tips explain how the Impact Player rule fits in.
Other rules worth knowing
- Super Overs do not count for fantasy points.
- If a player bats twice in the same innings (for example after retiring), only his better effort counts. Bowlers and fielders still score for every dismissal.
- If the chasing side keeps batting after reaching the target, or the match stops early, points follow the final scorecard.
- Points can change while a match shows "In progress" or "Waiting for review". Once the match is marked complete, they are final.
- A player who has moved to a new team may still appear under his old team until the squads are updated, but he will not score for them.
Formats beyond the main four
Drem also runs contests for formats such as The Hundred and Hong Kong Sixes, and for some smaller leagues listed as "Other T20", "Other ODI" and similar. Their values differ — for example, The Hundred has no strike-rate, economy or maiden points, and some "Other" formats pay more per wicket. Check the Points System in the app for the format of the match you are playing.
Contests involve real money, are for players aged 18 and over, and may not be allowed where you live. Set a budget and treat fantasy cricket as entertainment — see responsible gaming.
