Fantasy Cricket Scorecard

Playing The Game

Your players scores and bowling figures are updated with each ball of the live cricket match into your very own, fantasy cricket scorecard.
Your Substitution control panel is above your scorecard
The fantasy cricket scorecard will use the Batting & Bowling Orders YOU assigned, and your decisions will have a huge impact on the result of your match

Winning your fantasy cricket match is just like winning a Real Twenty20 cricket match:
The bowlers in your team must take 10 wickets or
bowl 20 overs
for less runs than your batsmen have scored!

My Fantasy Team Lost By 3 Wickets N.R.R -1.37

Batting Rule

Standard Cricket Batting Rules Apply

Your team can bat a maximum of 20 overs (120 balls)
Once 120 balls are faced, batsmen's strike rate will be used to determine his score for your fantasy cricket match.(Shown in the fantasy column)
Runs scored by remaining batsmen in the batting order will be IGNORED

Example

In the example on the right, notice Ravindra Jadeja has scored 50 runs of 30 balls, but in the fantasy column only 25 runs are counted, this is because the bastmen above him in the assigned batting order have played 105 balls, leaving Jadeja to face only 15 balls out of the available 120 balls in a 20 Over game!!
Using his stirke rate in this innings we know he would score 25 runs in 15 balls.

Also notice Sangakkara, Lee and Murali's scores are being ignored this is becuase 20 overs have already been played by the bastmen above so their are no balls left in this fantasy match for these players to bat!!

So Brett Lee's useful innings of 20 runs from 10 balls has gone to waste for this fantasy team, had he been assigned a higher batting order say in place of Brad Hodge or Yuvraj Singh his runs would have counted and this fantasy team would have scored even more than 145 in the 20 overs.

So think before assigning your batting order!!

Bowling Rule

Standard Cricket Bowling Rules Apply

Your Fantasy Team can take a maximum of 10 wickets or bowl a maximum of 20 overs (120 balls)
If more than 10 wickets are taken or more than 20 overs bowled, the bowlers average and economy rate will be used to determine his bowling figures for your fanatsy cricket match.(Shown in the fantasy column)
Runs conceded by remaining bowlers in the bowling line up will be IGNORED!
Runouts also count as wickets. Only the player responsible for dislodging the bails will be credited with the run out. Runouts are added to the Wickets column of players in your bowling line up
If your bowlers do not take 10 wickets or do not bowl 20 overs, 12 penalty runs will be added for every over under 20

Example

In this example on the right, notice Murali's live match figures are 4 overs for 30 runs taking 4 wickets, but his figures in the fantasy match are 2 overs for 15 runs with 2 wickets.This is becuase the players above him have taken 8 wickets so only 2 are needed from Murali to get the opposition All Out!!

Also notice Suresh Raina's expensive bowling figures are being ignored as 10 wickets have already been taken by the players above him
so the 'opposition' score will not include the runs conceded by Raina as they are All Out!
This has resulted in a modest 115/10 in 15 overs for the 'fantasy' opposition!
Had Raina been assigned a bowling order above Murali, his runs conceded would have been added to the fantasy opposition score

So think before assigning your bowling order!!

TIP: Remember you can get wickets through run outs too
and keepers are the mostly likely players to remove the bails those of you with a keen eye may have noticed McCullums figures on the right

Using Subs

The Power Of the Substitute

You can use subs to replace players in your starting 11 that did not play in the live cricket matches
You can also use subs during the live cricket matches to replace players that have not yet batted or bowled in the live cricket match.
Warning: once a player in your starting 11 bats or bowls in the live cricket match, his position in your batting and bowling order will be permanent. So if you wish to substitute a player in your starting 11 you must confirm the substitution before the player bats or bowls in the live cricket match.
Your substitutes can be used even after they bat or bowl.
Substitutes take on the bowling and batting order of the player they replace
Only 2 of the 3 substitutes can be used

Instructions for the Playable Example

In the Playable Example only Albie Morkel can be substituted, as all the other players have already batted or bowled in the live match

Try Substituting Albie Morkel with any of the 3 subs and see if you improve the N.R.R for this fantasy match

Click the SUB button to make the substitution, Click the UNDO button to reverse the substitution
