Cricket Quiz Puzzle


This puzzle does require a bit of thought, and does at first sight seem impossible, but it can be resolved with a bit of ingenuity.

A cricket team needs seven runs to win the game, with only three balls of the game remaining. Both batsmen are on 94.

The fielding side does not concede any extras or overthrows, and yet the batting side wins the match, and both batsmen reach their 100s and are not out.

How?

    I’m afraid that both batsmen have to remain Not Out, so your solution doesn’t quite work

    Ball 1 : Batsman1 hits a six
    Ball 2 : Batsman1 gets runout on non-striker end while taking a single, and Batsman 2 has reached the the striker end.
    Ball 3 : Batsman 2 hits a six
