SCORING

Scoring

Scoring in cricket matches involves two facts, the number of runs scored and the number of Wickets lost by each team. The number of wickets lost shows how many wickets the bowling team has to get to end the batting team's innings . In making a judgement at any point in a game about which team is more likely to win, other factors would be taken into account, such as the number of overs or the time remaining, the state of the pitch, or even the weather.
