Win and Loss
The result of a match is a win when one side scores more runs than the opposing side and all the innings of the team that has fewer runs have been completed. The side scoring more runs has won the game, and the side scoring fewer has lost. If the match ends without all the innings being completed, the result may be a draw or no result (see below).

“Love seeketh only self to please,
To bind another to its delight,
Joys in another’s loss of ease,
And builds a Hell in Heaven’s despite.”
