1. Pair’s Dual Pitch cricket is designed to keep all players actively involved in the game at all times. The game is conducted on 2 pitches adjacent to each other, i. e. adjoining grounds.
2. There are 10, 12 or 14 players on each team. In a team of 12, 10 players on field, 2 players bat.
3. Team I fields on Pitch A and bats on Pitch B. At the same time Team II fields on Pitch B and bats on Pitch A.
4. Each team is divided into pairs and each pair bats for 2 overs irrespective of wickets lost.
5. At the end of their 2 overs the batting pair swap with 2 of their teammates fielding on the opposite pitch.
6. The batters change ends at the fall of a wicket or after 3 consecutive non-scoring deliveries. Batters may be dismissed by all the usual means except LBW.
7. During the game each player will bowl one over.
8. The score is calculated on the product of wickets taken and runs scored.
9. e. g. Team I captured 9 wickets and made 62 runs
10. Team II captured 5 wickets and made 72 runs
11. Results: Team I 9 x 62 = 558
Team II = 8 x 70 = 560
If a team fails to lose a wicket both teams add one (1)
to their wicket totals.
