- The runs scored when the ball touches or crosses the boundary, which are either four or six depending on whether the ball bounced inside the field or not¹. The boundary count can also be used as a tie-breaker in some limited overs matches, such as the 2019 World Cup final between England and New Zealand.
Boundaries can either be measured from the centre of the wicket or middle stump. This will depend on the competition rules. The three most common methods for marking boundaries are; white lines, boundary rope or flags.
