scoring runs (from 2 consecutive balls) Explanation: The term "scored off" in the context of cricket refers to the batsman successfully scoring runs from a ball bowled by the bowler. In cricket, a run is the basic unit of scoring, achieved when the batsmen safely make it to the opposite wicket. So, in the context of your examples: "Will there be runs scored off two consecutive balls?" is asking whether the batsman will be able to score runs from two balls in a row. This could mean any number of runs, as long as some are scored from each of the two consecutive deliveries. "Runs were not scored off two consecutive balls" indicates that in a particular instance, the batsman failed to score any runs from two consecutive balls bowled to them. This term and these types of bets are indeed commonly associated with cricket, a sport where the frequency and method of scoring runs are key aspects of the game. |
