Points System · How the platforms actually score you

Points System: how Dream11, MPL, My11Circle and PlayerzPot actually score every ball — translated into plain English.

Every platform has a slightly different points table and most add or revise bonus conditions once a season. We keep the four-way comparison fresh, with the latest revision stamps and what changed.

Base points — what stays constant across platforms

+1 per run, +25 for a pace wicket, +8 per catch.

Platform-specific bonuses — what changes between Dream11, MPL, My11Circle and PlayerzPot

Where the four platforms actually diverge.

Dream11

Strike-rate bonus thresholds

Bonus thresholds activate at SR 170+ for +6. The bowl-out range caps at 6 rpo with a −2 penalty under 50 balls; below 50 balls, the penalty escalates.

MPL

Double-impact bonus

MPL awards an extra +4 if a player both takes a wicket and scores 30+ runs. The bonus compounds when both conditions trigger.

My11Circle

Circle-only differential

My11Circle's edge comes from circle play: a unique XI against the same friend roster. Fantasy cricket points themselves match Dream11's standard table.

PlayerzPot

Lower commission

PlayerzPot's commission runs lower than the other three, which means slightly higher net winnings on a winning entry — the points table itself is broadly comparable.
