Score any cricket match — T20, ODI, Test or The Hundred — in under 60 seconds. Fully offline. No account, no ads, no subscription — your data never leaves your phone. The fastest, cleanest cricket scorebook on iPhone and iPad, with a scoring engine that gets every rule right. FREE TO SCORE Scoring is completely free — every format, every rule, ball by ball, for as many matches as you like. No trial, no timer, no catch. NOW ON iPAD — A REAL SCOREBOARD Prop your iPad up in the pavilion and Wickets becomes a proper scoreboard. Landscape gives you a full board — scoring controls down one side, the complete batting card and bowling figures across the rest, with the score, overs and run rate along the bottom. Portrait keeps the board up top with the controls under your thumbs. And you can CAST THE BOARD TO A TV or external display, so the whole ground can follow along while you score privately on the iPad. EVERY FORMAT. EVERY RULE. Score T20, ODI, Test, The Hundred, or a Custom format. Wides and no-balls are counted correctly and never eat into your legal ball count. Free hits are tracked automatically. All 13 dismissal types — including run-outs that correctly credit the striker or the non-striker. FULL EXTRAS, THE FAST WAY Wides, No-balls, Byes and Leg-byes are one tap: arm the extra, tap the runs — "no-ball… and two" scores in the natural order. Byes, leg-byes and penalties all handled correctly. LIVE SCORECARD & ANALYTICS A scorecard that looks like the real thing, updating every ball. Pro unlocks the full analytics suite — Manhattan, Worm, Partnerships, Run Types and the Wagon Wheel shot map — plus PDF export and tournament mode. PREMIUM BOARD THEMES (PRO) Dress the whole app — and your TV board — in a designed scoreboard skin. THE PAVILION BOARD is a hand-painted mechanical look: slate-green steel, brass fittings, and a split-flap score that physically flips as runs are scored. STADIUM is a big black board with glowing amber LED digits. Classic (the clean cream-and-teal look) is always free. DLS METHOD BUILT IN Rain interruption? A full DLS calculator is built in and free — revised target in seconds, no internet required. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Zero network calls. Zero tracking. Zero ads. Your match data lives on your device and nowhere else. UNLOCK WICKETS PRO A single one-time purchase — no subscription, ever — unlocks: * Full analytics — Manhattan, Worm, Partnerships, Run Types and the Wagon Wheel * PDF scorecard export * Tournament mode — round-robin & knockout with live tables * Unlimited match history (free keeps your last 3) * Clean, unbranded share cards * The Pavilion & Stadium board themes Buy it once, keep it forever, across iPhone and iPad. Already bought Wickets when it was a paid app? Thank you — Pro is yours free. Just tap Restore. WHY WICKETS IS DIFFERENT Most cricket scorers get the basics right but fall apart on the edge cases — free hits, correct wide/no-ball counting, cascading edits, non-striker run-outs, DLS. Wickets is built on an event-log architecture that makes every rule correct by design. The premium, private, native option: no login, no ads, no data harvesting.
