Vs a friend or the bot
Over 7,000 matches counted with SmartDart across more than 400 completed tournaments (as of October 2026) — Cricket runs on the same live scoring: marks, MPR and points automatically, every dart counts.
Cricket Darts Rules — Explained Simply
Cricket is a tactical darts game around the numbers 15 to 20 and the Bull. The goal: close all seven targets while staying ahead.
The targets: 15–20 + Bull
Only the numbers 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and the Bull are in play. Every other segment counts for nothing.
Close with 3 marks
Each target is closed with three hits ("marks"). Single = 1 mark, double = 2, treble = 3. So a treble 20 closes the 20 in a single dart.
Score on open numbers
Once you've closed a number and your opponent hasn't, further hits count as points (number value × marks, Bull = 25). As soon as the opponent closes it too, the number is "dead".
How you win
The first player to close all seven targets AND hold at least as many points as the opponent wins the leg. Marks per round (MPR) is the key Cricket statistic.

Opponent & strength

Play Cricket against the computer
No opponent around? Play Cricket against a bot in 20 difficulty levels — realistic marks per round from about 1.0 (starter) to 5.8 (champion). The bot closes numbers, scores on open ones and plays tactically. Perfect for practice, unlimited and free in the browser — exactly what plain web scorers don't offer.

Cricket Darts FAQ
What is Cricket in darts?
Cricket is a tactical darts game around the numbers 15 to 20 and the Bull. You "close" each number with three hits and score points on numbers your opponent still has open. The winner is whoever closes all seven targets while holding at least as many points as the opponent.
What are the exact Cricket rules?
Only 15–20 and Bull count. Single = 1 mark, double = 2, treble = 3; three marks close a number. If you've closed a number and your opponent hasn't, further hits score points (number value × marks, Bull = 25). Win: all seven targets closed AND points ≥ opponent.
Is Cricket free?
Yes. Cricket is unlimited and free in Quick Match — against a friend or the bot, with no subscription and no hidden costs.
Do I need to download anything or sign up?
No. Cricket runs straight in the browser on phone, tablet and desktop. No app store, no download, no account needed.
Can I play Cricket against the computer?
Yes. You can play a bot in 20 difficulty levels (about 1.0 to 5.8 MPR). The bot closes numbers and scores tactically — ideal for practice when no opponent is around.
What does MPR mean?
MPR stands for "marks per round" and is the most important Cricket statistic — the equivalent of the 3-dart average in 501. SmartDart calculates MPR for both players live.
Is there cut-throat Cricket?
In cut-throat, points are added to your opponents instead of yourself. SmartDart currently offers standard Cricket only; cut-throat is not playable at the moment.
Can I play Cricket with more players or as a tournament?
Right now Cricket is 1 vs 1 (friend or bot). Cricket with 3+ players and Cricket tournaments aren't available at the moment. Tournaments on SmartDart run on 501/301.
What else SmartDart can do
Beyond Quick Match and Training, SmartDart is a complete darts platform for pubs, clubs and leagues.
