SCORING :

The score shall be reckoned by runs

THE RESULT

A match is won by the side which shall have scored a total of runs in excess of that scored by the opposing side in its two completed innings; one-day matches, unless this played out, shall be deceided by the first innings.

A match may also be determined by being given up as lost by one of the sides, or in the case governed by Law 17

2. Neither side can be compelled to continue after a match is finished; a one-day match shall not be regarded as finished on the result of the first innings if the umpires consider there is a prospect of carrying the game to a further issue in the time remaining.
