Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers for scorers, viewers, teams, and organizers using Cricket Score Counter during real matches.
What is Cricket Score Counter?
Cricket Score Counter is a free web app for scoring local cricket matches ball by ball. It tracks runs, wickets, overs, extras, run rate, and live sharing links.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can create a match and begin scoring without an account. This keeps match setup quick for casual games and volunteer scorers.
Can viewers follow the score live?
Yes. After creating a match, share the live match link so other people can follow the score from their own device.
How are wides and no-balls handled?
Wides and no-balls add extra runs to the team total and do not count as legal deliveries. The over continues until six legal balls are recorded.
Can I fix a scoring mistake?
Use the undo or recent events tools as soon as you notice a mistake. Early corrections keep batter, bowler, and team totals consistent.
Is this for official tournaments?
The app is best for local, school, club, practice, and friendly matches. For official tournaments, always follow the tournament scorer's rules and recordkeeping requirements.
Why is match history useful?
Match history helps teams review completed games, batting summaries, bowling figures, and key scoring moments after the match ends.
