Historical background and rules of the game

Before to start making bets on cricket, it will not be superfluous to familiarize yourself with the historical aspect of the sport and its rules. Knowledge will help to make more accurate predictions.

The official moment of the emergence of the sports discipline is considered to be the 16th century. The game appeared in Great Britain. Then it spread to many other countries, such as Australia, Pakistan, and South Africa. Today, these teams occupy leading positions in the world.

Cricket received the status of a national sport in England in the 18th century. During this period, the first professional clubs began to appear. The pioneer is considered to be the Marylebone Cricket Club. It was founded in 1789. It was on its basis that the basic rules of the discipline were established, many of which are still used today.

To play at the bookmaker and make a bet on cricket, it is not necessary to know all the rules of the sport. But the better the understanding of the features of the discipline, the higher the winning chances.

Cricket is a team sport. Competitions are held between 2 teams. Each is represented by 11 players. The main goal of the opposing sides is to score more points than the opponent. In parallel with the ball games, the players try to eliminate their opponents.

The playing field has the shape of an oval. Its length is 22 yards. Two umpires monitor compliance with the rules on the field. Another one is located outside the field.

Depending on the format, one or two innings are played. Over is also supposed in the game. It consists of 6 innings. They are performed by a special player called a bowler. Accordingly, athletes who hit the ball with a bat are batsmen. After each successful hit, the batsman must run between the posts placed on the field. If the ball is knocked out of the field with a bounce from the field, the team is awarded 4 points. For a hit without a bounce, 6 points are already given.
