How Come Sports’s live match centre works
Come Sports’s live match centre pulls data from official ball-by-ball feeds and updates the fantasy leaderboard within 5 seconds of each ball being bowled. The feed covers all international matches, IPL 2026, and other major franchise tournaments. The 5-second latency is the input that drives the in-match captain pick decision on live contests.
The match centre shows the live score, the run rate, the required run rate (for chases), the current batter, the current bowler, and the projected final score. The live match centre is the input for the in-match fantasy decision: do you need to take more risk on your captain pick, or do you need to play safe? A team with 75% win probability has a different captain pick strategy than a team with 55% win probability.
The match centre’s projection engine uses historical data and current match state to estimate the final score, and the projection is updated every 10 balls. The projection is the most useful single number in the centre, and the projection is the input that drives the in-match captain pick decision on the next contest.
Ball-by-ball fantasy point updates
Every ball in a live match generates a fantasy point update for every player in your team. A batsman who hits a 6 generates 6 + 6 (bonus) = 12 fantasy points; a bowler who takes a wicket generates 25 + 8 (bowled) = 33 fantasy points.
The ball-by-ball update also includes milestone bonuses: a batsman who reaches a fifty generates 8 bonus points; a bowler who completes a maiden over generates 4 bonus points; a fielder who takes a catch generates 8 bonus points. The milestone bonuses are the input that drives the in-match captain pick strategy, with the captain pick on a player close to a milestone being highest-value.
The captain pick multiplier (2x) and the vice-captain multiplier (1.5x) are applied to the live points, with the multiplier being the highest-leverage decision in fantasy cricket. A captain who scores 80 runs gives you 160 points; a captain who scores 30 gives you 60. The ball-by-ball update shows the live captain pick points in real time.
Live leaderboard tracking
The live leaderboard shows your current rank in the contest, the number of points behind the leader, the number of points ahead of the next rank, and the projected final rank based on the current scoring rate. The leaderboard updates every 30 seconds with the latest ball-by-ball data.
The leaderboard also shows the rank distribution: the number of players within 50 points of you, the number within 100 points, the number within 200 points. The rank distribution is the input for the rank-targeting strategy, with the strategy being to outscore the players closest to you in the rank distribution.
The leaderboard’s projected final rank is the most useful single number in the centre. The projection is based on the current scoring rate and the expected remaining scoring, with the projection being the input for the in-match contest entry decision on the next match.
