How to play Cricket and collect runs

A cricket match is usually played between 2 teams of 11 players, with each team nominating a captain before the start of the match. However, cricket can also be played in numerous modified formats, including Super 8s, beach cricket, pair’s cricket and even street cricket.

    1)   The match is usually played on a grass oval with a pitch in the centre. Two wickets are set up at either end of the pitch.

    2)   Each team has a turn at batting while the other team fields and tries to get the batters out.

3)   Each turn of a team has at batting or fielding is called an innings.

4)   The batting team is always try to accumulate a score by making runs.

5)   Batters try to hit a ball that is bowled towards them from the other end of the pitch.

6)   A run is scored when both batsman safely run from one end of the pitch to the other.

7)   Batsman can continue take and accumulate run until their batted ball is stay on distance from the stump or stumping before the fielders side players.

8)   How many runs are made each time depends on a ball is hit (an odd or even amount), either batsman A or batsman B may face the bowler.

9)   A batsman can make a score without running by hitting the ball in such way that reaches the boundary which counts for 4 runs or 6 runs (if it rolls or bounces it is called 4 and if it is on the full it is called 6)

10)       The batting team can also accumulate runs from bowlers’ and fielders’ mistakes, e.g. bowling a ‘no ball’ or bowling or throwing the ball wide, called wide, of the stumps.
