Offline Scoring

If you want to give offline scoring, select the team that won the toss and choose whether they will bat or bowl. Then, select the match format, number of overs, and click the 'Start Match' button.



This is the Batsman section. Here, you can select the players who are part of the batting lineup by clicking on their profiles.

You can set each player’s status as Out, Not Out, or Did Not Bat based on their participation. You can also enter the player’s performance details such as runs scored, balls faced, fours, sixes, and strike rate if needed.

Additionally, you can record extra runs like byes, leg byes, wides, no-balls, and penalty runs using the options provided.



If a batsman is out, you can enter the full dismissal details in this section.

First, select how the batsman got out from the available options. Then, choose the bowler or fielder involved in taking the wicket. You can also enter the batsman’s performance up to that point, including the runs scored and balls faced.

Finally, add the fall-of-wicket details like the team score at the time of dismissal, the wicket number, and the over in which it happened. 



This is the Bowling section. Here, you can enter complete bowling details for each bowler, including overs bowled, maidens, runs conceded, wickets taken, dots, wides, no-balls, byes, leg-byes, penalties and economy rate. You can add bowlers to the list by selecting them from the bowling squad shown below.

As you enter the values, the system automatically calculates the bowler's economy and validates the total runs.



If the total bowling runs do not match the batting runs recorded, an error message will appear. After completing all entries, click the Save Inning Scores & Proceed button to move to the next step.

Step 6: After the match is completed, click 'Publish' to publish the results. A confirmation pop-up will appear — click 'Confirm' to finalize publishing.



Once the scores have been published, they become visible in your feeds section, your opponent’s feed and in the feeds of both your friends.
