How the Dream11 Points Calculator Works
This calculator works out a player’s Dream11 fantasy points for a T20 cricket match from their batting, bowling and fielding stats. Enter runs, balls, fours, sixes, wickets, overs, maidens, catches and more, choose whether the player is your captain, vice-captain or a regular pick, and it returns the full point breakdown and the final total.
Dream11 awards points for almost everything that happens on the field, then multiplies your chosen captain’s and vice-captain’s scores. Understanding exactly how those points add up is the key to building a winning team.
The Formula
Total points = (base points) × role multiplier
Base points are the sum of:
- In the XI: +4 for every selected player
- Batting: +1 per run, +4 per four, +6 per six; milestone bonus of +4 (25), +8 (50), +12 (75) or +16 (100); −2 for a duck
- Bowling: +30 per wicket, +8 for each LBW/bowled, haul bonus of +4/+8/+12 for 3/4/5 wickets, +12 per maiden over, +1 per dot ball
- Fielding: +8 per catch (+4 for 3 catches), +12 per stumping, +12 per direct run-out, +6 per run-out assist
- Strike-rate (≥10 balls) and economy-rate (≥2 overs) bonuses or penalties
The role multiplier is 2x for the captain, 1.5x for the vice-captain, and 1x for everyone else.
Worked Example
A top-order batter scores 62 off 40 balls with 5 fours and 3 sixes, takes 1 catch, and is not your captain or vice-captain:
- In the XI: +4
- Runs: 62 × 1 = +62
- Fours: 5 × 4 = +20
- Sixes: 3 × 6 = +18
- Half-century bonus (50+): +8
- Strike rate = (62 ÷ 40) × 100 = 155 → in the 150.01–170 band: +4
- Catch: +8
Base = 4 + 62 + 20 + 18 + 8 + 4 + 8 = 124 points. As a regular pick the multiplier is 1, so the total is 124 points. Make this player your captain and it doubles to 248 points.

Why the Captain Choice Matters Most
Because the captain’s entire base score is doubled and the vice-captain’s is multiplied by 1.5, these two picks dominate your final tally. A captain who scores 100 base points contributes 200, while the same player as a regular pick adds only 100. Use this calculator to compare candidates: estimate each player’s likely base points, then apply the multiplier to see who gives the biggest swing. Rules can change season to season, so always verify the current scoring in the Dream11 app before locking your team.
Frequently asked questions
How are Dream11 points calculated in T20 cricket?+
Each player starts with 4 points for being in the playing XI. Batting adds 1 per run, 4 per four, 6 per six, milestone bonuses (4 at 25, 8 at 50, 12 at 75, 16 at 100) and a strike-rate bonus or penalty. Bowling adds 30 per wicket, 8 for LBW/bowled, haul bonuses, 12 per maiden, 1 per dot and an economy bonus or penalty. Fielding adds 8 per catch, 12 per stumping and run-out points. The total is then multiplied by the role.
How many points does the captain get in Dream11?+
The captain earns 2x (double) the points their performance scores, and the vice-captain earns 1.5x. Picking the right captain is the single biggest lever in a Dream11 team, because the multiplier applies to that player's entire base score.
How many points is a wicket worth in Dream11 T20?+
A wicket (other than a run-out) is worth 30 points. If it is an LBW or bowled dismissal you get an extra 8-point bonus, so a clean-bowled wicket is worth 38 points. Three, four and five-wicket hauls add a further 4, 8 and 12 bonus points respectively.
What is the strike-rate bonus in Dream11 T20?+
For batters facing at least 10 balls, Dream11 adds 6 points above 170 SR, 4 between 150.01 and 170, and 2 between 130 and 150. It deducts 2 points between 60 and 70, 4 between 50 and 59.99, and 6 below 50. Strike rates between 70.01 and 129.99 are neutral.
Does this calculator use the official Dream11 points system?+
Yes, it uses the official Dream11 T20 cricket scoring rules: run, boundary and milestone batting points, wicket and economy bowling points, fielding points, plus captain and vice-captain multipliers. It calculates one player at a time so you can see exactly where each point comes from. Always confirm current rules in the app, as Dream11 can update them.
