description Indoor cricket Overview
Indoor cricket is a fast-paced team variant of cricket played inside a fully enclosed court surrounded by tensioned netting. In its common Australian format, teams have eight players, every player bats and bowls, and runs can be scored both by running between the wickets and by striking designated sections of the net. The enclosure keeps the ball in play and supports shorter, more continuous matches than outdoor cricket.
help Indoor cricket FAQ
How many players are on an indoor cricket team?
In the common Australian format, each team has eight players and each innings lasts 16 overs. The game takes place inside a fully enclosed net court.
Does every player bat and bowl in indoor cricket?
Yes. Batters work in pairs for four overs, and each player normally bowls two overs, so every member takes part in several roles.
How do the nets affect indoor cricket scoring?
The side and back nets are part of play, so hitting them can add bonus runs. Under the official rules, side-net hits can score 1 to 3 bonus runs, while a back-net hit can score 4 on the bounce or 6 on the full when combined with a physical run.
What happens when a batter is dismissed in indoor cricket?
A dismissal normally deducts 5 runs from the pair's score, but the batter stays in and continues batting for the allocated four overs. This is one of the main rule differences from outdoor cricket.
