Box cricket scoring app

Box cricket is a different animal — tight nets, six or eight overs a side, and a chase that is usually decided in the last over. ForthUmpire is a free cricket scoring app built for that pace: start a Quick Match in under a minute, tap each ball as it happens, and share a live link so the bench, friends and the next-batting team see the score on their phones.

Why it fits box cricket

⚡

Quick Match for short games

Box cricket is fast — usually 6 or 8 overs a side. Quick Match lets you start scoring in under a minute, with no formal squad list required.

🎯

One-tap scoring

Each ball is a tap: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, wide, no-ball or wicket. No drop-downs to dig through between deliveries.

📋

Box-cricket rules in mind

Wides and no-balls add a run and get re-bowled. One-bounce-one-hand, last-man batting and other house rules sit on top of standard scoring without breaking the scorecard.

📡

Live link for the bench

In a turf arena there is usually no scoreboard. Share the match-day link and players on the bench, partners and friends watch ball by ball on their phones.

🔁

Innings break + chase

After the first innings, the app sets the target and shows required run rate and balls left — perfect for the tight chases box cricket is built around.

🆓

Free for the whole league

Score every game of the box-league season without a subscription. No per-match charge, no team limit.

How a typical box-cricket evening runs

Slot booked for an hour, two teams of six, 6 overs a side. You open ForthUmpire, hit Quick Match, type the team names and the overs, mark the toss, and start tapping each ball. The run rate, current over and full scorecard refresh after every tap. At the innings break the app sets the target and shows the chasing side how many runs and balls remain — by the last over, everyone in the box is watching the live link to see if it goes down to the final ball.

Box cricket scoring — FAQ

Can I use it for a 6-over or 8-over box cricket game?

Yes. ForthUmpire works for any limited-overs format. Set the overs per innings in Quick Match — 6, 8, 10, anything — and score ball by ball.

Does it support box-cricket house rules?

Standard scoring (runs, wides, no-balls, wickets) is the same in box cricket. House rules like one-bounce-one-hand or last-man batting do not change the score itself — the scorecard stays accurate either way.

How do bench players follow the score in a turf arena?

Share the twelve-figure match-day link in the team WhatsApp group. Bench players, friends and partners follow live in any phone browser.

Is it really free even if we play every weekend?

Yes. There is no subscription and no match-count limit. Score every weekend, the whole box-league season, at no cost.
