In cricket, the boundary is the perimeter of a playing field. It is also the term given to a scoring shot where the ball is hit to, or beyond, that perimeter, which generally earns four or six runs for the batting team.
The distance to the boundary is measured from the centre of the wicket or from middle stump but this varies from ground to ground depending on its size and/or the level of the competition.
As per ICC rules, all boundaries in a cricket ground must be marked by a rope or similar object. The boundary should be at least 59 m from the centre of the field in men's international cricket – law 19.1. 3. The rope should be a minimum distance of 2.74 metres from the ground's perimeter fencing or advertising signs.
