Last man stands cricket
Form of cricket
Last Man Stands cricket (LMS) is a form of cricket played with only 8 players per side. It originated in England in 2005. It is a 20-over (with each over lasting 5 balls) format where a pink ball is used.[1][2]
Rules and regulations
- Played with 8 players per side.
- The most distinguishing feature of this form of cricket is that if a team loses 7 wickets in an innings, the remaining batsman continues to bat without a partner, instead of being stranded (according to the normal Laws of Cricket, a batsman cannot bat without a partner). This "last man standing" can only score in even numbers of runs. [3]
World wide recognition
This form of cricket is most recognised due to the Last man stands feature which is contrary to the usual Laws of Cricket.
