A match begins with each team sending two members onto the field. The throwing team will have a bowler who throws the ball with the aim of hitting the opponent’s wicket. The other team will have a batsman whose job is to use the bat to defend the wicket and counterattack by hitting the ball away.
How to calculate point in the game
Points in this game are also called “runs”. Some common situations that members should know when participating in the game
- If the ball is hit to the ground before going out of bounds → count as 4 points.
- If the ball flies straight over the boundary without touching the ground → count as 6 points.
Points can also be added when the opponent commits a foul, for example, as follows. This will help you understand how points are deducted if you commit a foul.
- Wide delivery.
- The thrower’s foot touches the line (no ball).
- Two batters still run without touching the ball (bye).
- The ball hits the batsman’s body instead of his bat (leg bye).

Each team will take turns playing both the throwing and hitting roles. When it is their turn, the throwing team will try to break the three bases or catch the ball while it is still in the air. The batting team has two batsmen on the field, both protecting the three bases and trying to hit the ball far enough to run back and forth between the two ends of the field. Each successful run will count as a “hit”. The members of the throwing team can eliminate the batman if:
