Every sport has its particular scoring. For more information on other sports, check out the MISC section on our rules page.
Cricket matches are shortened using the limited-overs method, which reduces the target score. If the game is shortened due to any circumstance, all selections will be voided.
For example: if a 20-over match is shortened to 15 overs, each team will have 15 overs to bat instead of the intended 20. This would result in projections being voided.
If a batter gets up to bat, their selections will be graded normally. If a batter does not get up to bat, their selections will void. Byes and Leg Byes are not counted towards a batter’s score.
Runs
1st Inning Runs - the first inning can span multiple days, if it’s a test match
Runs - A run is scored each time both batsmen cross and reach the creases at opposite ends. Runs will be given to the batter that hit the ball
Fours & Sixes
Fours - If the batsman hits the ball and it goes past the boundary line after hitting the ground, a Four is recorded.
Fours run between wickets, where the ball doesn’t reach the boundary, do not count as ‘fours’
Sixes - If the batsman hits the ball and it goes past the boundary line without hitting the ground, a Six is recorded.
Sixes run between wickets, where the ball doesn’t reach the boundary, do not count as ‘sixes’
Wickets
Wickets Taken - Only graded if a player with a Wickets Taken projection participates as a bowler in the specified match. If the specified player does not make an appearance as a bowler in the match, the projection will be void.
