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. Forth Umpire 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.
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.
Each ball is a tap: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, wide, no-ball or wicket. No drop-downs to dig through between deliveries.
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.
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.
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.
Score every game of the box-league season without a subscription. No per-match charge, no team limit.
Slot booked for an hour, two teams of six, 6 overs a side. You open Forth Umpire, 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.
Open Forth Umpire on your phone, start a Quick Match and the live link is ready before the first over.
