Question 1

Is Criconic really free? Do I have to pay to see my stats?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's free — and no, you never pay to see your stats. Scoring matches, live scorecards, your career batting and bowling numbers, wagon wheels, pitch maps and batter-vs-bowler matchups cost ₹0. There is no subscription, no card to enter and no trial that runs out.

Question 2

How do I get a wagon wheel and pitch map for my match?

Accepted Answer

While scoring, tap where the ball pitched and where the batter hit it — it takes a second per ball, on the app or the website. Criconic then builds the wagon wheel and pitch map on the scorecard's Analysis tab, where anyone can filter by innings, batter, bowler or outcome.

Question 3

Can I compare a batter against a specific bowler?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On a match's Analysis tab, choose a batter and a bowler to see only the balls between those two: where the batter scored, which lengths the bowler hit, and the runs and wickets from each. For a true one-on-one, play a Single Wicket match.

Question 4

Which match formats can I score?

Accepted Answer

Limited-overs matches with any number of overs, Test matches of one to five days with declarations and the follow-on, Single Wicket matches (player vs player, 1 to 10 overs each) and Box Cricket.

Question 5

Can we play with our own local rules?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Set 4 to 10 balls an over and impact players on any match. In the Criconic app you can also turn on free hits, choose whether wides and no-balls are bowled again and whether their runs count, cap each bowler's overs and play last man stands.

Question 6

Can I fix a ball I scored wrongly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Undo as many balls as you need, even back into the last innings, and reopen a match within 15 minutes of ending it. In the Criconic app you can also edit a past ball — the runs, or the fielder on a wicket — without undoing everything after it.

Question 7

What is a season rank, and how do I earn XP?

Accepted Answer

Every player has a season rank that starts again every three months, from Bronze through Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Crown up to Ace and Legend, plus a career level that never resets. XP comes from matches that were streamed live or verified by the Criconic team. See who's on top on the season rankings page.

Question 8

Can we see a ranking of just our own group of players?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Create a tournament for your group — your Sunday cricket, say — and score all your matches inside it. Its Leaderboard tab ranks only the players from those matches: batting by runs (with average, strike rate, fours and sixes) and bowling by wickets, then economy. It updates after every match, and each scorecard names the Player of the Match. Make the tournament private if it's just for your group.

Question 9

Can the same player play for both teams?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add the player to both teams' squads and pick them in both playing XIs. Whatever they score or take for either side goes into their stats once: it counts as one match played, with the runs and wickets from both sides added together.

Question 10

How does real-time live scoring work?

Accepted Answer

Score in the Criconic app or in any phone, tablet or computer browser. Tap each ball — runs, extras, boundaries or wickets — and Criconic keeps the strike, bowler figures, run rates and partnerships. Anyone watching the scorecard sees each ball as soon as it's scored, without refreshing.

Question 11

Can I run a tournament with a points table?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Create a tournament and add the teams. In the app, Make fixtures plans every match for a league, groups + knockout or a knockout, and the knockouts fill in as results come in. You can also add each match yourself with its round. As league matches are scored, the points table (2 points for a win, 1 for a tie), net run rate and the batting and bowling leaderboards update on their own. The MVP table adds up batting, bowling and fielding points from every match and names the Player of the Tournament once it's over.

Question 12

How do I stream matches with a live scoreboard overlay?

Accepted Answer

Your streaming app (OBS Studio, Streamlabs, vMix, PRISM and others) sends the video to YouTube or Facebook; Criconic gives you the live scoreboard to add on top as a browser source. Turn on Go Live for the match to get the overlay link — it updates with every ball you score.

Question 13

How do teams and players join a match or tournament?

Accepted Answer

Share your tournament's registration link and captains enter their teams for you to approve — or add teams yourself, or let captains scan the tournament QR code. Players join a team the same way with the team's QR code, or the team owner adds them by search or mobile number.

Question 14

Can I change how the scoreboard overlay looks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pick a broadcast theme for the match's overlay and choose a colour scheme for each team, so the scoreboard looks right on your stream. One theme is written entirely in Hindi, player names included.

Question 15

Is there anything for the commentator at the ground?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Organizers add commentators to a match or a whole tournament, and they open commentary mode on criconic.com or in the app. After every ball it shows the chase, milestones coming up, batter-vs-bowler numbers, records and the points table, plus sponsor lines and announcements to read out — in English or Hindi. Commentators can't change the score.

Question 16

How do I find cricket matches near me?

Accepted Answer

On the home page, tap Show matches near me to see the matches being played around you right now; your location is only used for that search. Grounds played at often also get their own page, with live and upcoming matches and the ground's records.
