Scoring

A run occurs when a batsman hits the ball with their bat and the two batsmen at the wicket mange to

successfully run to the other end. The batsmen can run as many times as they like before being given

out. If the ball crosses the boundary rope after it has bounced at least once from leaving the bat, then

4 runs are given. If the ball goes over the boundary rope without bouncing, then 6 runs are awarded to

the batting team. Runs can also be scored when the bowler bowls a wide delivery, a no ball or the

batting team is able to score a bye or a leg bye.

Winning the Game

One team will bat first and the other team shall field first. The batting team will try and score as many

runs as possible in the allotted time whilst the bowling team will try and contain them by fielding the

ball. The teams then swap and the second team batting will try and outscore the runs their opponents

scored first. If they fail, they lose and if they succeed, they win.
