How to score in Cricket

Ways of scoring in cricket

Cricket is a team game to be played with bat and ball. There are two main aspects of cricket- batting and bowling. At a time, a team can either do bowling or batting. A team that bats, scores the runs and team that bowls bowled out the balls (or called as deliveries). The score is an important factor of the game as like other games. Today, let us see the granularity of the cricket score, or how cricket score is displayed or what is the scoring method in cricket.

The cricket score is written in the format of run/wicket or wicket/run, example- 245/8 or 8/245. In this score, single digit (8) indicates the number of fallen wickets for the batting team and figure 245 shows the number of runs scored by a batting team. The total number of wickets dedicated to a team is only ten, due to that reason, wicket digit can only go up to ten (10) whereas, number of runs scored depends on the format of the game. In a test cricket, number of runs scored can be anything. In an ODI cricket, there is a limit of fifty overs, so it can be limited and can be scored within fifty overs.
