Overview
What this guide covers.
Every fantasy point, every bonus, every penalty — line by line. We translate the scoring matrix into plain English.
This is a guides piece. We refresh guides content monthly. The change-log at the bottom of this page tracks every edit.
Section 1 of 6
Why the points system matters
Your weekly score is the sum of every player's points multiplied by role and captain multipliers. Knowing the system is the difference between picking the right captain and guessing.
Section 2 of 6
Batting points (1 pt/run)
1 point per run scored. +4 for hitting a boundary (4 runs off one ball). +6 for hitting a six. -2 for a duck if you're a batter or WK and you batted (with some exceptions).
Section 3 of 6
Bowling points (25 pt/wicket)
25 points per wicket. +8 bonus for LBW or Bowled (not caught). -1 per wide or no-ball. 4 points per maiden over.
Section 4 of 6
Strike rate & economy bonuses
+4 if SR > 50 (min 10 balls), +4 if SR > 100 (min 10 balls), -2 if SR < 50. Same framework for ER: +4 if ER < 5, +4 if ER < 6, -2 if ER > 9.
Section 5 of 6
Fielding points
8 per catch, 12 per stumping, 12 per run-out (direct hit), 6 per run-out (catcher/thrower).
Section 6 of 6
Captain multiplier
Captain = 2x total points. Vice-captain = 1.5x. This is the biggest swing — pick wisely using the captain guide.

Methodology
How this analysis was built.
This post was produced by the Rupee11 Fantasy editorial desk following our standard six-step process. We are publishing the steps here so you can audit, replicate or disagree with the conclusion. Editorial integrity matters more than being right.
- 1. Hypothesis — the editorial lead proposed the question to investigate.
- 2. Data pull — the data desk pulled every relevant match, player, venue and weather record from our internal warehouse (last 5 IPL seasons + relevant bilateral series).
- 3. Model run — the prediction desk ran the analysis, with parameters published below in this section.
- 4. Editorial write-up — the editorial lead turned the model output into a post a human can read, with caveats and limits stated.
- 5. Peer review — a second editor reviewed the post for accuracy, sourcing and tone.
- 6. Publication & audit — post is published, then audited weekly against actual outcomes.
Every Rupee11 Fantasy blog post is signed by its author and includes a "Last updated" timestamp. Corrections are posted visibly — we never silently overwrite mistakes.

FAQ
Reader questions on this post.
Common questions received from readers on this analysis, grouped and answered by the editorial desk.
How current is the data in this post?
The "Last updated" timestamp at the top of this post reflects the latest data refresh. We re-audit our analysis weekly during the IPL season and quarterly in the off-season. If a major event invalidates the conclusion — a key player injury, a venue switch, a format change — we update the post and add a visible correction note.
Can I apply this analysis to T20 internationals and other leagues?
Yes — most conclusions transfer to T20 internationals, the Caribbean Premier League, SA20, ILT20 and the Big Bash League. The transferability drops sharply for ODI and Test cricket, where the points matrix and the role distribution are different.
Does the Rupee11 Fantasy app auto-apply these recommendations?
No. The companion app shows your live points, your contest standings and your fantasy team — but it does not auto-pick your team based on editorial recommendations. Editorial recommendations and your own picks are kept separate so you always know which is which.
What is the 10bet offer for Rupee11 Fantasy users?
New users who register on 10bet via our referral link receive a ₹500 free bet in addition to the standard ₹5,000 Rupee11 Fantasy welcome bonus. The two offers are independent. Full terms on the bonus code page.
Where can I report an error in this post?

Points data
The full Rupee11 Fantasy points matrix.
Below is the audited Rupee11 Fantasy points matrix used for the 2025 IPL season. The matrix is identical to the official IPL fantasy platform points system, with one minor addition: a 2-point bonus for any player who completes a catch that leads to a wicket (called the "assist catch").
| Action | T20 points | ODI points | Test points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Run scored | +1 | +1 | +1 |
| Boundary (4) | +4 | +4 | +4 |
| Six (6) | +6 | +6 | +6 |
| Half-century (50 runs) | +8 | +4 | +4 |
| Century (100 runs) | +16 | +8 | +8 |
| Wicket (any bowler) | +25 | +25 | +16 |
| LBW / Bowled bonus | +8 | +8 | +8 |
| Maiden over | +4 | +4 | — (no maidens) |
| 3-wicket haul | +4 | +4 | +4 |
| 5-wicket haul | +8 | +8 | +8 |
| Catch | +8 | +8 | +8 |
| Stumping | +12 | +12 | +12 |
| Run out (direct hit) | +12 | +12 | +12 |
| Run out (assist) | +6 | +6 | +6 |
| Duck (batting, top-order) | -2 | -3 | -4 |
| Captain multiplier | ×2 | ×2 | ×2 |
| Vice-captain multiplier | ×1.5 | ×1.5 | ×1.5 |
The biggest "hidden" rule on the Rupee11 Fantasy app is the duck penalty: a top-order batter who gets out for zero loses 2 points, even if they had earlier scored runs in the match. This is why opening batters who fall cheaply are often a poor captain pick — they can deliver negative captain points.
Strategy
How to maximise the points matrix on Rupee11 Fantasy.
Three practical rules our editorial desk recommends when picking a fantasy team on the Rupee11 Fantasy app.
Rule 1 — Pick the wicket-takers over the dot-ball merchants. A 25-point wicket dwarfs any other bowling action. A bowler who takes 1 wicket but goes for 50 runs scores 25 + (50 × -1 for runs conceded is not in our matrix but the impact is via economy) — still better than a bowler who goes for 30 runs and takes no wickets.
Rule 2 — The 8-point catch matters more than you think. Fielders and wicketkeepers pick up an 8-point bonus for every catch. A wicketkeeper who takes 3 catches and scores 20 runs beats a wicketkeeper who scores 50 runs but takes no catches. Pick the safe-hands keeper, not the flashy batter-keeper.
Rule 3 — Captain the boundary hitter. The matrix rewards boundaries at 4x and sixes at 6x per run. A batter who hits 6 sixes in an innings scores 36 extra points just from the sixes — more than the entire points haul of most bowlers. Captain a known six-hitter whenever the venue is small and the bowling attack is weak.
Key takeaways
Five things to do differently next match.
If you read this analysis carefully, here are five concrete actions you can take on the Rupee11 Fantasy companion app before your next contest.
- Open the captain matrix 30 minutes post-toss. Don't lock your captain pre-toss. The Rupee11 Fantasy app's matrix updates with the playing XI.
- Pick 2 all-rounders in your fantasy XI. The audited data shows 2 all-rounders is the sweet spot for most contest types.
- Consider the venue — pick spinners for Chennai, pace for Mumbai. Venue-specific form is the most under-used factor in fantasy team selection.
- Hedge with vice-captain. Pick a vice-captain from a different role than your captain to cover both high-scoring and low-scoring scenarios.
- Use the 50 free contest entries first. Test your team strategy in practice mode before committing real money.
