Format Guide

Points by Match Format

T20 has higher century bonuses (+16 vs +8). Test has no strike rate bonus, making big hundreds more valuable. ODI sits in the middle. Pick your format wisely.

Run Scored +1 +1 +1

Key Insight

In Test cricket, strike rate bonuses don't apply, making accumulators (batsmen who score big hundreds) extremely valuable. In T20, aggressive strikers who score quick 30s-40s often outscore slow accumulators due to strike rate bonuses.
