A typical T20 fantasy contest scores every ball. The desk's habit is to read the scoring card before any lock, because the scoring card is what makes captaincy and role balance meaningful. This page walks through the run, boundary, wicket, catch, stumping, maiden and economy points, with the deductions and the captain multiplier. Verify the exact scoring on the contest card before lock.

Open the contest card inside the official app and tap the information icon. The public scoring is always listed there. Read it before any entry.
No. Each contest can publish its own scoring. Read the contest card, not just the platform's headline scoring.
Most contests multiply captain points by 2 and vice-captain by 1.5. Some contests offer chips that change the multiplier. Verify on the contest card.
Some platforms add a bonus if a batter's strike rate crosses a threshold, or a penalty if it falls below one. Verify on the contest card.
Most platforms credit bowlers for staying below an economy threshold and deduct points for going above one. The threshold depends on the format.
Most platforms credit wides and no-balls to the bowler's runs conceded but not to the batter's run count. Verify on the contest card.
Most platforms credit the substitute with their actual performance but cap the credit at the original player's points. Verify on the contest card.
Scoring can change between contests and seasons. The desk recommends reading the contest card each time, even for formats you have played before.
