Summary

This is a typical batting scorecard. The first column shows the batting line-up of the match. The second column is the player's name. The third column is the way they got out. If there is no data, it means that they haven't batted as yet. The Runs column shows the runs garnered by each player, similarly the balls column. The third last row gives the Fall of wicket figure – the score at which a batsman got out. Extras are the runs not credited to the batsman. wides/ no-balls/ leg-byes/ byes.
The sum total of the runs made by the players plus the runs obtained by extras gives the team score. The Total number of balls here exceeds 300 (50 x 6) by 12. The 12 extra balls are the balls re-bowled due to wides and no-balls.
