How you score
Every ball across all four innings counts:
| Action | Points |
|---|---|
| Run scored | 1 |
| Four hit | +1 (so a boundary = 5) |
| Six hit | +5 (so a six = 11) |
| Wicket taken | 20 |
| Maiden over | 5 |
| Catch taken | 10 |
| Economy < 4 Runs Per Over (min 5 overs) | +20 |
| Economy < 3 Runs per over (min 5 overs) | +40 |
Highest total when stumps draw on day five takes the pot.
