Anyone can enjoy our indoor cricket competitions, whether you are an experienced player or a complete
novice. Make up your own team or join one of ours. It’s a safe game to play, with a soft centred ball so you don’t need pads or helmets. The way your fixtures are organised means you play at your own level of ability
for close and exciting competitions.

RULES
A batter makes runs by hitting the ball into the net and running. Different scores can be
obtained depending on which net the ball is hit into. Runs are also obtained by running
between the creases. Unlike outdoor cricket, if a player is dismissed whilst batting his team
has five (5) runs deducted from the team score. The batter continues batting until their
six (6) overs are complete. Players can be dismissed in the same manner as outdoor
cricket including being caught off the nets. Players can only be caught off direct hits to the
Zone D net (6 run net) in mixed games.

Skins are determined by the winner of each corresponding batting pair.
FINALS
