Basic rules of Cricket

Fielding team

The fielding team will have a bowler bowl the ball to the batsmen who tries to hit the ball with their bat. The fielding team tries to get the batsmen out by...

  • Hitting the wickets with the ball when bowling
  • Catching a batsmen's shot on the full
  • Hitting the batsmen's leg in front of the wicket (LBW)
  • Or hitting the wickets before the batsmen can run to the other end of the pitch

Batting team

The batsmen try to score as many runs as possible before getting out by...

  • Hitting the ball and running between the wickets and making it to the other end before the fielders can hit the wickets with the ball. Each time you run one full length of the pitch it equals 1 run.
  • Hitting the ball to the boundary along the ground is 4 runs.
  • Hitting the ball over the boundary on the full equals 6 runs.

The fielding team must get 10 batmen out before they can change over and start batting.

The aim of the game is to score as many runs as possible before the fielding team takes 10 wickets. The team with the most runs wins.
