Wicketkeepers cannot change mid-innings, unless the wicket-keeper sustains an injury during the game. They must wear protective gear ie gloves and pads at all times.

Two batters shall be at the wicket at all times during the innings. At the fall of the 7th wicket, the last man shall continue batting with the 7th out batter remaining at the wicket as a runner only.

If this is not conclusive each player of each teams shall bowl one ball at the wicket in turn and the side hitting the stumps most times shall be the winner, if all the 8 players miss the stumps the teams start again until one of the players miss after taking their turn.
