About: 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, because they do not have two players available to bat. 1. * All but one of the batsmen are out. 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; see retirement). 3. * The team batting last scores the required number of runs to win. 4. * The game runs out of time for either side to win, and so finishes as a draw. 5. * The set number of overs (sets of 6 deliveries) 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.
