Online Cricket Scoreboard
Cricket is scored in runs. Batters score 1, 2 or 3 runs by running between the wickets, 4 for a ball that reaches the boundary after touching the ground and 6 for one that clears it on the full. ScoreBoard's free cricket scoreboard has 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6-run buttons for each team.
Free, no account, no ads. Runs in any browser on phone, tablet, laptop or TV.

Cricket scoreboard FAQ
How is cricket scored?
The batting side scores runs by running between the wickets (1, 2 or 3), hitting a four (ball reaches the boundary along the ground) or a six (ball clears the boundary in the air). Extras such as wides and no-balls add runs too. The team with more runs wins.
How many overs are in a T20 and an ODI?
A T20 match has 20 overs per side and an ODI has 50 overs per side. Each over has 6 legal deliveries. Test matches have no over limit and last up to five days.
Can ScoreBoard track wickets and overs?
Not yet. ScoreBoard keeps each team's run total. Many backyard and tape-ball games only need the runs, but for a full scorecard use a dedicated cricket scoring app.
