End of An Innings

End Of An Innings

In cricket, a team's innings ends in one of the following ways. In cases 1 and 2, the team are said to be all out.

1. All but one of the batsmen are out (dismissed).
2. The batting side only has one not-out batsman who is still able to bat (the others are incapacitated through injury, illness or absence).
3. The team batting last scores the required number of runs to win.
4. The game runs out of time and so finishes as a draw.
5. The set number of overs have been bowled (in limited overs cricket).
6. The team's captain declares the innings closed.
7. The Match Referee decides that one team has forfeited the game.
