After the live draft, both unique Playing XIs score from the actual match — across T20 and ODI formats. Test cricket is not supported. The higher total wins. If it's a tie, PickXI breaks it first by total runs scored, then by total wickets taken. Last reviewed 9 September 2026. The in-app table for a given contest is always the source of truth if a format shows a small variation.

| Duck (batter out for 0) | −2 |
| Wicket | +20 |
| Catch | +10 |
| Run out | +10 |

Your Captain call counts double
Once your draft is complete, name one player in your XI as Captain. Every point that player earns — runs, wickets, catches, all of it — is doubled. Picking the right Captain is often the difference between winning and losing a close 1v1.
