Cricket fantasy points API for live matches
Power a fantasy score view with player points that update as the match progresses. The breakdown separates batting, bowling, fielding, and bonus points so the total can be explained to users.
Fantasy scoring data
Point breakdown
Runs, boundaries, wickets, catches, stumpings, and bonuses are separated.
Match leaderboard
Request the top performers without loading every squad manually.
Series totals
Aggregate player points across the matches in a tournament.

GET /api/match/{id}/fantasy/{player_id}

Implementation notes
Use the match endpoint for a playing-XI screen and the player endpoint for a detail drawer. Store the breakdown separately from the total so the interface can show why the score changed. The default scoring model follows common fantasy cricket rules, and a paid integration can map those components to a custom ruleset.
Refresh live matches on a short interval. Cache completed matches for longer because their points no longer change. If a player has not batted, bowled, or fielded yet, the player can still appear with a zero total and an empty breakdown.
Fantasy points should be presented as application data, not as a promise of contest winnings. Pair this endpoint with the scorecard or ball-by-ball feed when the product needs to show the match evidence behind the points.

Live matches are recalculated after new ball and scorecard events arrive.
Can the scoring model be adjusted?
