Match Rules

The game will revert to 'indoor cricket' rules.

-Teams of 18 (9 pairs of batters).

-Each pair of batters faces 4 overs (9x4 = 36 overs)

-Each time a batter gets out, their team loses 5 runs.

-Each bowler bowls 2 overs each (18x2 = 36 overs)

-Maximum fielders at any one time = 11 (includes the bowler & captain)... The fielding captain will be responsible for subbing fielders on/off the field... but can only do so at the end of each group of 4 overs.

Manoj and Michael estimate that the 72 overs will take approx 4.5 hrs of playing time. Plenty of time to drink and buy raffle tickets to Dementia UK

Dementia UK - UK Charity of the Year

One in two of us will be affected by dementia in our lifetime. That’s half of Deutsche Bank employees. Half your family. Half your friends.

All donations will go to UK Charity of the Year, Dementia UK, working towards a day where no one faces dementia alone.

Deutsche Bank will match the fundraising efforts of all Deutsche Bank employees, so please give as generously as you can to support those families facing dementia.
