  Data Analysis Australia :: Analytical Ideas - Cricket
In first-class cricket matches, each team has two-innings, ten wickets to lose in each inning and no limit on the number of overs in which to use those ten wickets.
The aim is to score as many runs as possible and a team is declared the winner if they have scored more runs than the other team over both innings' provided that their opposition has lost all their wickets.
So unlike first-class cricket, a one-day cricket match must have a winner unless each team's score is the same at the end of the match, in which case the result is a tie.

A side that has scored 100 runs for the loss of no wickets is in a much better position than a side that has scored 120 runs for the loss of 8 wickets.

Cricket is a game that, unlike x01, requires some strategy which can help a weaker player beat a stronger player.

In cricket, it is the batter, not the pitcher, who takes center stage and is challenged by a series of pitchers/bowlers.
Or, suppose the score was 60, but there were 5 "outs"....with the top of the batting order already out, the remaining batters would have to play more defensively, to stay in and add to the total.
If it has scored 80, it has only 91 more runs to go, in 20 overs, with 7 outs in hand....a scoring rate of 4.5 runs per over, which is only slightly greater than the pace it has maintained so far (4 runs per over).
