How to read a cricket score
A cricket score is usually written as runs followed by wickets lost. A score of 124/3 means the batting team has scored 124 runs and lost three wickets. The overs figure describes how far the innings has progressed. In standard six-ball overs, 15. 2 means 15 completed overs and two legal balls, rather than 15.
2 decimal overs. Wides and no-balls can add runs without counting as a legal delivery. An innings table gives the individual batters’ contributions, while the bowling table records overs, runs conceded and wickets. Read the match status alongside the numbers: the same score can be strong early in an innings and insufficient near its end. A final result, when available, is more useful than comparing raw totals without the match context.
