Win and loss

The result of a match is a win when one side scores more runs than the opposing side and all the innings of the match are completed. the Sport of Cricket, a run is the basic unit of scoring.

Draw

The result of a match is a draw if a match is concluded, as defined in Law 16, without being a win or a tie.

This means that a draw occurs when a team does not complete its innings by the scheduled end of play. In matches where the number of overs is not limited, therefore, a team unable to win may be able to 'save the draw' by managing to not complete its final innings (i. e. by having batsmen left at the end of play who are 'not out'). The match is then drawn regardless of the total of runs accumulated by either side.

In limited overs matches, a draw is not a possible result (except in some amateur leagues where the league rules allow for such).

No result

A no result is effectively the same as a draw, but occurs only in limited-overs cricket. With a limited number of overs, a team cannot bat to the end of the match and secure a draw as above - if they have scored fewer runs they have lost the game. A no result, therefore, occurs only when weather conditions stop play before the second team have batted enough overs to have a recalculated target under the Duckworth-Lewis method or other rain rules. In the Sport of Cricket, the Duckworth-Lewis method (D/L method is a mathematical way to calculate the target score for the team batting second in a One-day In One Day International cricket, one team needs to have faced less than 20 overs (of the allotted 50 for a match) for a match to be a no result.

In the sport of Cricket, a Coin is tossed to determine which team bats first Such a game is not included in official statistical records. Cricket is a Sport that generates a large number of Statistics.

Prior to July 2004, the same result occurred if the toss had been taken but the match was abandoned before a ball was bowled. "MMIV" redirects here For the Modest Mouse album see " Baron von Bullshit Rides Again " Since 2004, the International Cricket Council has decreed that a match where the toss takes place but which is abandoned without a ball being bowled is either a draw or (for a limited-overs match) a no result. The International Cricket Council (ICC is the international governing body of Cricket. Such games are now included in statistical records, counting, for example, as a game played by the teams and nominated players. [1]

Awarded

The umpires also have the power to award a match to one side where the other side either concedes defeat or in the opinion of the umpires refuses to play, in which case the game can be deemed to have been forfeited by the side in question. An umpire in Cricket (from the Old French Nompere meaning not equal i (Note that this is not the same as the (voluntary) forefeiture of an innings under Law 14. In the Sport of Cricket a declaration occurs when a captain declares his team's Innings closed and a forfeiture is when a captain chooses to ) This power is very rarely used. Before this rule was introduced there had been cases in the international arena where one team has refused to play, or deliberately stopped playing for a while.

Statement of result

The result of a cricket match is stated in several ways:

For example – in a single-innings match, if Team A bat first and make 200 runs, then Team B make 201 after losing four wickets out of ten, Team B is said to have won by six wickets, regardless of how many batsmen Team A lost during their innings.
For example – if Team A bat first and make 200 runs, but Team B make only 192, Team A is said to have won by eight runs.
Note: If the side batting last has lost all its wickets, but as the result of an award of 5 penalty runs at the end of the match has scored a total of runs in excess of the total scored by the opposing side, the result shall be stated as a win to that side by penalty runs.
For example – if Team A bat first and make 200 runs in their first innings, Team B make 300 runs in their first innings, and Team A only make 95 runs in their second innings, Team B is said to have won by an innings and five runs.
