Cricket score sheet

A score sheet sized for the match you are playing.

Set the teams, the overs and how many a side, then print it. Twenty overs gets twenty rows, not a generic fifty-over page with thirty crossed out.

Paper, and after it

What the sheet cannot do

Paper is the right answer at a ground with no signal, and it is still the fastest way for an experienced scorer to work. What it will not do is add itself up, settle a net run rate, or put the result on a page the players' families can follow from home. That is typing the whole book up again on Sunday night.

If you would rather not, the free scorebook scores a single match in a browser with no account, and live scoring inside a tournament carries the result through to the points table on its own. New to scoring altogether? Start with how to score a cricket match.

Good to know

Score sheet questions

Why does each over have eight boxes?

Because an over is not always six deliveries. A wide or a no-ball adds a ball without retiring one, so an over can easily run to eight or nine entries. Templates that print exactly six boxes force the scorer to cram the extras into a margin, which is where a scorebook stops being readable a month later. Six are numbered and two are spare.

Can I print it on A4?

Yes. It is laid out to fit one side of A4 in landscape, which is what most home and club printers have. Use your browser print dialog and pick landscape; the page furniture, navigation and footer are all stripped out so only the sheet itself comes through.

What do I write in the boxes?

A dot for a dot ball, the number for runs off the bat, W for a wicket, and the extras marked with their own symbols: wd for a wide, nb for a no-ball, b for a bye and lb for a leg bye. Our guide to cricket scoring symbols covers the full notation, including how to record a wicket off a no-ball.
