Points are earned this way: when the kicker hits the ball, he runs to the opposite post. The player standing on the opposite side of the track runs towards him, trying to take the place of the striker.

Each such run brings a point to the batting team, and when running, the players must touch the ground behind the line with the bat or any part of the body.

An unsuccessful run attempt is called a short run.

If the batted ball touches and crosses the boundary, the batsman's team gets 4 runs.

If the ball reaches the boundary without being touched, 6 runs.

Points may also be awarded in case of violations or incorrectly executed serves.

In one game, a team must strike out 10 batters in order for the scoring rights to pass to them.

The server can serve no more than six times in a row, after which he must be replaced.

If the maximum time allotted for a match (usually 5 days) has expired without all players being eliminated, then a draw is declared, which is called a draw.

For a match in X days, the winning margin must be:

5 days - 200 wounds

3-4 days - 150 rans

2 days - 100 wounds

1 day - 75 wounds

The last hour of play must include 20 overs, otherwise the referee has the right to extend the playing time.

Batsman - 0 points - will score 0 points when entering to bat.

Before the game, the teams agree whether one innings (serve) will be played, or whether the winner will be determined based on the results of two games. In addition, opponents are determining whether innings will be limited by time or number of overs.

An innings is completed when all batsmen of the batting team are retired, the captain calls or abandons the innings, or the time or overs limit has expired.

Before the game, a toss is held, following which the winning captain chooses whether his team will bat or field first.

An over consists of six innings, no ball and wide ball are not counted as one of them. A bowler cannot bowl for two overs in a row.

FOLLOW-ON

This rule applies to matches of two innings.

If the team batting second scores significantly fewer runs than the first team, the first team can call a follow-on, that is, force the opponents to bat for the second inning immediately after the first.

The batsman may leave the game on his own initiative.

A situation in which a batsman is not taken out of the game at the end of an innings is called a not out.

Conditions for removing a batter from the game:

The ball is caught on the fly by athletes of the defending team;

The pitcher's delivery knocked down the wicket (the batter did not deflect the thrown ball);

The ball flying into the wicket caught the batter.

The wicket is destroyed while the batter is running.

The player's first run out is caught (the defense catches the ball without touching the ground), not caught is run out (the batsman) by any other means.

1 - STAMPED / STUMPED

A batsman is put out if his wicket is destroyed by the wicketkeeper while the batsman is out and not attempting a run.

This rule does not apply in a no-ball situation.

2 - LEG BEFORE WICKET / LEG BEFORE WICKET

If, as a result of a delivery, a ball that would have hit the wicket in the absence of the batsman is hit without first touching the bat, the batsman may be put out.

Making a decision to remove a batsman from the game requires certain additional conditions to be met.

3 - BOULD / BOWLED

A bowled situation occurs when the ball destroys the wicket as a result of the delivery. Before the wicket breaks, the ball must not touch any umpire or player other than the batsman. The ball can touch the bat, glove or any part of the batsman's body.

4 - RUN OUT

If a batsman is out of the zone and his wicket is destroyed by the opponent, the batsman is taken out of the game.

This rule applies even in a no-ball situation.

5 - CATCH(CAT) / CATCH(COUGHT)

Catching is a situation where a fielder catches a ball that has not touched the ground after it has been deflected by the batsman.

The player who catches the ball must be in the field, that is, no part of his body must touch the ground outside the field.

The ball must not touch any object outside the field of play before it is caught.

An extra is a run scored or awarded to the batting team that is not awarded to individual batsmen.

These are runs scored by methods other than hitting the ball with a bat:

1 - BYE

If the ball, which is not in a no-ball or wide-ball situation, flies past the batsman, the runs scored as a result of the play will be called byes.

In team statistics, byes are counted as regular wounds.

2 - NO-BALL

No ball is declared if:

The bowler serves from a prohibited area,

Bowler straightens his elbow as he serves,

The supply appears dangerous,

After serving, the ball touches the pitch two or more times,

After the serve, the ball rolls down the pitch,

Field players are in prohibited areas.

A no-ball adds one run to the batting team.

3 - WIDE

If the umpire considers that the batsman did not have the opportunity to score runs due to the bowler's inaccurate delivery, wide ball is declared.

A wide ball is declared in situations where, after a delivery, the ball passes over the batsman's head.

After a wild ball is called, the team scores one run.

4 - LEG-BYE

If the ball touches the batsman but not his bat, the runs will be called leg byes.

A leg-by does not count if the batsman did not try to hit or dodge the ball.

5 - PENALTY RUNS

Penalty runs are awarded for various rule violations, usually involving foul play or player conduct.
