Last man stands 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 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).

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.
