A legendary Ashes Test match
…the scorecard captures all the statistics and emotions in real time.

Parts of a Cricket Match Scorecard
1. Team Information
The top of a scorecard shows:
Teams playing (e.g., India vs Australia)
Innings order (who batted first)
Total runs, wickets, and overs
Example:
India – 250/6 (50 overs)
This means India scored 250 runs, lost 6 wickets, and played all 50 overs.
2. Batting Scorecard
Displays each batsman’s performance: runs, balls faced, boundaries, dismissal, and strike rate.
| Batsman | Runs | Balls | 4s | 6s | Status | SR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rohit Sharma | 45 | 30 | 5 | 2 | Caught | 150.0 |
| Virat Kohli | 82 | 90 | 8 | 1 | Not Out | 91.11 |
| Suryakumar Yadav | 20 | 15 | 3 | 0 | Bowled | 133.33 |
