Sixer's editorial reading is not a system. It is a vocabulary: the rows that build a fantasy-cricket points ledger, why each row exists, what it does to a captain call, and what to check on the platform you play on.
A fantasy-cricket points system rewards actions, not players. Sixer reads the rows below as the impact a six-hitting finisher actually carries into your team total.
| Action | Base points | Strike-rate bonus | Milestone bonus | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Run | +1 | +4 / +8 / +16 | +4 (50), +8 (100) | Strike-rate ladder kicks in above 130 / 160 / 190 SR. |
| Boundary (4) | +4 | bonus inherits | — | Four counts as a run total of 4 plus the strike-rate bonus trigger. |
| Six | +6 | bonus inherits | — | Six counts as 6 + strike-rate bonus trigger; biggest single-row impact. |
| Duck (zero) | −2 | — | — | Wicket-keeper / batter only. |
| Wicket (any) | +25 | +8 LBW / Bowled | +4 (3-for), +8 (4-for), +16 (5-for) | Phase tag affects captaincy weight. |
| Maiden over | +4 | — | — | Counts each maiden over bowled. |
| Captain multiplier | ×2 | — | — | Vice-captain ×1.5. |
| Catch | +8 | — | +4 (3 catches) | Caught-behind keeper catches carry an extra bonus on some platforms. |
| Stumping | +12 | — | — | Keeper only. |
Sixer's ledger lists the action-and-impact rows our editorial reader uses on a given night. Always cross-check against the official points sheet filed by the platform you play on — sixes and strike-rate bonuses are the rows that move most match to match.
A strike-rate bonus is the most discussed row on the desk. Sixer reads it as the impact a six-hitting finisher carries into your team total, not the headline six-fest on social.
An anchor running at 130–160 SR earns the smallest strike-rate bonus. The +4 bonus rewards a steady hand without rewarding slog risk.
A middle-overs batter at 160–190 SR earns the second-tier bonus. The +8 row carries the captain-call worth; reading the rows matters.
A finisher at 190+ SR earns the biggest bonus. The +16 row carries the largest captain-call worth — but also the largest dismissal-mode risk.
Sixer reads the captain call as the single biggest decision the desk makes. The ×2 multiplier doubles every row above; vice-captain ×1.5 multiplies the multiplier across every row the captain / vice-captain picks up.
A captain who scores 80 with two sixes carries 80 + 12 + 14 (boundary bonus) + 16 (strike-rate bonus at 190+) = 122. The captain multiplier × 2 brings that to 244. A 244-row is the difference between a top-1000 finish and a top-100 finish.
The captain call matters more than the rest of the XI put together. Sixer publishes the tier the data leans toward; the desk does not promise a win.
Sixer's editorial reading of how fantasy-cricket points are built is plain: rows, ladders, milestones and the captain multiplier. Always cross-check against the platform's official sheet.
Runs, boundaries, sixes, dots, wickets, maidens, catches. The action rows are the editorial vocabulary.
The strike-rate ladder is the biggest single row for a captain call. The +4 / +8 / +16 ladder rewards a steady hand, a middle-overs quick and a finisher.
50 / 100 / 3-for / 4-for / 5-for. The milestone rows reward the scoreboard line, not the moment.
×2 for captain, ×1.5 for vice-captain. The multiplier doubles the editorial decision the desk makes.
Sixer's editorial reading of how fantasy-cricket points are built is plain: action rows, a strike-rate ladder, milestone bonuses and the captain multiplier.
Runs, boundaries, sixes, dots, wickets, maidens, catches and stumpings.
A bonus kicks in at 130–160 SR (+4), 160–190 SR (+8) and 190+ SR (+16). The +16 row carries the largest captain-call worth.
50 / 100 (batter), 3-for / 4-for / 5-for (bowler), 3 catches (fielder). The milestones reward sustained performance.
Captain ×2; vice-captain ×1.5. The multiplier doubles the editorial decision the desk makes on matchday.
