If both sides have completed both their allocated innings and the side that fielded last has the higher aggregate of runs, it is known as a win by runs. This indicates the number of runs that they had scored more than the opposing side. If the side batting last wins the match, it is known as a win by wickets, indicating the number of wickets that were still to fall.[16]

Wicket-keeping records

The wicket-keeper is a specialist fielder who stands behind the stumps being guarded by the batsman on strike, and is the only member of the fielding side allowed to wear gloves and leg pads.[87] Many players have played matches both as a wicket-keeper and as a regular fielder; in the records below, the number of innings refers to those where the player was the nominated wicket-keeper at the start of the match, and the number of catches only include those taken as a wicket-keeper.

Most career dismissals

A wicket-keeper can be credited with the dismissal of a batsman in two ways, caught or stumped. A fair catch is taken when the ball is caught fully within the field of play without it bouncing after the ball has touched the striker's bat or glove holding the bat,[88][89] while a stumping occurs when the wicket-keeper puts down the wicket while the batsman is out of his ground and not attempting a run.[90] Jos Buttler is the highest-ranked England player, in second place, in the list of most dismissals in T20Is as a wicket-keeper, the list being headed by South African Quinton de Kock with 117 dismissals (98 catches and 19 stumpings).[91]

Umpiring records

An umpire in cricket is a person who officiates the match according to the Laws of Cricket. Two umpires adjudicate the match on the field, whilst a third umpire has access to video replays, and a fourth umpire looks after the match balls and other duties. The records below are only for on-field umpires. Malaysia's Viswanadan Kalidas holds the record for the most T20I matches umpired with 100. The most experienced English umpire is Alex Wharf.[125]
