Important Point : The contribution of the impact player is added to the user's fantasy point system only if the potential Impact player is selected during the team creation stage. However, if a player, who was not a part of the announced lineups, comes to the field as a substitute, they will not get points for any of their contributions (except Impact Player substitutes). If a player gets replaced by an Impact Player substitute, but later comes back on field, they will get points for their contributions.Out of the announced substitutes, ONLY those that will play will be awarded 10 points in addition to the points for all the contributions they make as per the Fantasy Point System. The announced Impact Player substitutes will get 0 points for being announced.For example, if the batting team has 100 runs and the fielding team has collected five wickets, the score is “100/5” or “100-5. The five main ways to get a wicket are done through being caught, bowled, run out, stumped, or leg before wicket. If the batsman is caught, it means a fielder caught the bowled ball before it hit the ground. If the batsman is bowled, the two bails are knocked over by a bowled ball. If the batsman is run out, they fall short of the batting crease, and a player from the fielding team knocks over the wicket while the batter is running between the wickets. If the batsman is stumped, it means the wicket-keeper collects the cricket ball and knocks over the wicket before the batter is in the batting crease. Lastly, if the ball would hit the stumps if it wasn’t for the batsman’s pads, it is considered a leg before wicket.Īs the game goes on, the batting team will have accumulated runs while the fielding team will have collected wickets.

On the other hand, the bowling team’s main goal is to get the batsman out or accumulate wickets. If the ball goes over the boundary lines, that is equivalent to six runs. If the ball hits the boundary, that is equivalent to four runs. Running every time the ball is hit is not necessary, especially if the players believe they will not have enough time to make it back before the fielding team strikes their stumps. They can also score runs if the ball touches the boundary line or goes over the boundary lines. This way of scoring runs can keep going because if both the batsmen run to the other end of the pitch and back to their own, that is considered two runs. If they successfully reach the other end of the pitch without the fielding team striking them out, one run is added to the total score. This run will also count towards the batsman’s (who hit the ball) individual score. Once the batsman hits the ball, especially to an empty or remote part of the field, they may wish to run between the wickets to score runs. There is a batsman on each end of the pitch, and they will each run from their end of the pitch to the other end.
