Cricket History

Cricket is a team (usually 11 players a side) sport where the team with the most runs at the end of the game wins. A cricket match is played on a circular or oval field with clearly marked inner ring outer boundary. In the middle of the field is a rectangular surface called a pitch which is the focal point of play during a cricket match.

The teams take turns at batting and each turn is called an innings. A batsman tries to score runs by hitting the ball being delivered (bowled) by the bowler.

He can score runs in a number of ways; by hitting the ball into the field and running between the wickets (poles on either side of the pitch) or he can get 4 runs if he gets the ball all the way to the boundary having touched the ground or, he/she gets 6 runs if he hits the ball over the boundary without it touching the ground.

Basic cricket betting tips:

Innings Total Runs – Over/Under

One of the most popular cricket betting markets is predicting whether a team will score over or under a certain amount of runs at the end of their innings.

Outright Winner

An Outright Winner bet is placed on the team that you think will win a specific cricket tournament such as the Cricket World Cup, Champions Trophy or the IPL (Indian Premier League).
