The Game of Indoor Cricket
- Indoor cricket is played on a rectangular, artificial-grass surfaced court. The enclosed court is approximately 11 metres wide and 28 metres long (with a 4 metre high top net) with tightly tensioned netting. The length of the pitch and size of the stumps are exactly the same dimensions as outdoor cricket.
- Like traditional cricket, indoor cricket involves two batsmen, a bowler and a team of fielders. The bowler bowls the ball to the batsmen who must score runs. The team with the highest score at the end of the match wins.
- Despite these basic similarities, indoor cricket differs significantly from its traditional counterpart in several ways, most notably on the field of play and the means by which runs are obtained
- Each team consists of a maximum of 8 players (minimum of 6)
- Each team bats for 1 innings and bowls for 1 innings of 16 overs (total 32 over game)
- An over consists of 6 balls or deliveries (variations may occur)
- A bowler bowls 2 overs in the game – not consecutively
- Each batting pair bat for 4 overs – even when either batter is dismissed
- Dismissals are a 5 run deduction from the score
