FAQs

How are runs scored in cricket?

Runs are scored when batters run between the wickets or hit the ball to the boundary for four (grounded) or six (over the rope).

What happens when a ball is declared a no-ball or wide?

A no-ball gives the batting team an extra run and the next delivery is a free hit (in limited-overs cricket). A wide ball also adds an extra run to the batting team, and the bowler must rebowl the delivery.

What is the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method?

The DLS method is used to calculate revised target scores in rain-affected matches. It considers overs remaining, wickets in hand, and run rate.

What is Powerplay in limited-overs cricket?

Powerplay is a period when fielding restrictions apply. In ODIs, the first 10 overs allow only two fielders outside the 30-yard circle. In T20s, the first six overs have similar restrictions.

What are the basic rules of cricket?

Cricket is played between two teams of 11 players each. The batting team tries to score runs, while the bowling team tries to dismiss batters and restrict runs. The team with the most runs at the end of the match wins.
