How many bails sit on top of the cricket stumps?
Box Cricket is a version of the game of cricket that retains many of the characteristics of the original game but is played for fun in a more controlled environment, making it more accessible to casual players. Depending on the skill sets and availability of the participants, box cricket may be played in a number of different ways.
General rules of the match:
- In contrast to the standard cricket game played on a large field, box cricket will include less than 11 participants. Most of the time, there will be between six and eight people on each team.
- Therefore, if you want to have a mixed-gender match, you'll need to have six men and two women on each squad.
- Only three to twelve overs will be played in each game.
- In box cricket, each bowler has a different number of overs they can bowl. In a 12-over match, each bowler may bowl three overs.
Bating rules of the game:
- The batsman must bat with at least one foot within the crease when the ball is thrown to score runs.
- The batting side has the opportunity to score eight runs if they hit the 8-run board.
- If a ball is hit straight and hits the ceiling, it instantly dies. No runs or dismissal will be awarded. There will be no more bowling with this ball.
Bowling rules of the game:
- Bowlers may need to switch to underarm delivery if they have any female teammates.
- It's a no-ball if the ball isn't thrown beyond the no-ball line.
- Bowling must be done from inside the boundaries of the bowling crease.
- If you break any of the aforementioned guidelines, it's out of bounds.
- Conventional rules pertaining to no balls, wide balls, byes, and overthrows will be enforced.
- Bowling with a sidearm is forbidden.
- Three-Dot Ball: If this rule is used, the batter is out if he or she misses three consecutive balls. This guideline is enforced so that defensive batting and dot balls are not permitted. Again, this will differ depending on the setting.
- Jackpot ball: Different places might have different rules for how to play jackpot ball. According to this, the batsman has the opportunity to score two runs on the last ball of each inning. Under this rule, the batsman's runs can be doubled.
