How to start a matchScoring app overview

1. The ball-by-ball scoring board

After line-ups are saved you land on the live scoring board. From here you enter every ball — runs, wickets, wides, no-balls, and byes — so the scorecard and player stats stay accurate for your club and anyone following the live link.

Ball-by-ball scoring: tap each outcome; the card updates for both teams in real time.

2. More scoring options mid-match

Real games are messy: rain stops play, the scorer's phone dies, or a substitute arrives after the toss. Cricko exposes controls so an authorised scorer can hand off scoring, end an innings or match when the game is abandoned, and adjust squads when new players join mid-innings — always follow your league's rules for eligibility.

More options: change scorer, finish early, update squads — without losing the official card.

3. Team score side-by-side comparison

When you need a quick read on the chase — required rate, wickets in hand, and both totals — the app surfaces a side-by-side team comparison so captains and fans see the same picture the scorer does.

Scheduling, toss, striker, non-striker, and opening bowler live on a separate page so each URL has a clear topic for SEO — and both pages link to each other.

FAQs

Where does ball-by-ball scoring begin?

After you complete start match, toss, and line-ups (see the how-to-start guide), Cricko opens the live scoring screen. That is where you enter each delivery.

Can I change the scorer or end a match early?

Yes. During a match you can hand scoring to another volunteer, end the innings or match when play stops (for example weather or forfeit), and update squads if a substitute joins — use the in-match menus shown in the app.

Does Cricko show both teams’ scores together?

The app includes views that compare team totals and required rates side by side so fans and scorers see the game state at a glance.
