Play indoor cricket games

Two teams consisting of six players per side play a single innings match. Those innings last for 12 overs. Each batsman bats for four overs while each bowler can deliver two overs. The game is designed so that every player on each side plays a full part in the game.

Conventional methods of dismissal are used so players can be bowled, caught and run out. However, when dismissed, the batsman remains in the game unless their four overs have been used up. As with regular cricket, the aim is to score more runs than the opposition and there are special scoring zones set up around the playing area. The net is there to stop the ball from leaving the field of play but it also has clearly marked scoring zones. If the batsman hits the ball into these zones, they add the designated amount of runs to the team total.

Any runs that are accumulated by hitting these zones are known as bonus runs. Batsmen can also score physical runs by running between the wickets.

If the ball hits a scoring zone, the batters must complete a physical run in order for the bonus runs to count,. Note that there is also a Zone A which is behind the wicket keeper. However, no runs are scored if the ball hits Zone A. Interviews with some of the pioneers of our game. More are planned.
