Toss and Innings

•A coin toss determines who will bat or bowl first in a cricket match. Each team plays one 8-over inning, making the overall game length 16 overs.

Scoring Runs

•Scoring runs are straight forward:

•Each run made while the ball is in play counts as a single or double as players run between the wickets.

•If the ball reaches the net (Only, front of batsmen)

•4 Runs: If the ball hits the ground and crosses the front boundary line. (IMP If the ball hits the roof net player can run or reaches front boundary line.)

•6 Runs: If the ball crosses the boundary on the full (without touching the ground), it’s a 6.

Extras and Penalties

•Extra runs like “WIDES” and “No- BALLS” are counted in JPL - box cricket. To maintain fair play and enjoyment, there are no additional penalties, such as for a team failing to bowl all of its overs on time.

Outs and Dismissals

JPL - Box cricket follows the standard dismissals of bowled, stumped, caught, and run-out. There are various ways a batsman can be dismissed. Let’s take a look at them:

1.Bowled: Irrespective of previous bat or body contact, a batsman is dismissed immediately when a ball hits stumps ordislodges a bail.

2.Caught Out: If a fielder catches the ball inside the boundary line without any bounce or ball hitting any object, the batsman is out.

3.Run Out: If a bail / Wickets is removed with the ball by the fielding team while the batsman is outside his crease, the batter is out.

4.Stumped: If a batsman moves out of the crease while trying to hit the ball and misses hitting it, the wicketkeeper can knock down the wickets to dismiss the batsman.

5.Hit Wicket: Dislodging bails with the bat while running or playing results in a “hit wicket” dismissal for the batter.

6.LBW (Leg Before Wicket): Is not applicable.
