The rules
Standard cricket laws apply for this competition, with batters being out if they are out. A reminder that this is not a pairs based cricket competition.
A summary of rules would be as follows:
- Eight players in a team.
- Eight overs a side, six balls an over.
- Batters score 1 for hitting any of the side walls, ceiling or wall behind the wicket keeper – but can be caught off any of these walls.
- Batter score 4 for hitting the wall behind the bowler along the floor or 4 for hitting the wall behind the bowler without the ball touching the ground or any other wall first.
- Batters can be out – bowled, caught, hit wicket, run out or stumped.
- Bowlers may bowl a maximum of two overs each.
- Wides and no balls will add 2 runs to the batting teams score, but extra balls will only be bowled in the eighth over of the innings.
- Batters who score 15 runs or more will have to retire and may return at the end of the innings should there be any balls remaining.
- If there is one batter left at the end of the innings, with balls remaining, that batter may continue batting with another batter running at the other end. NB – In this instance either batter can be run out.
