What Is The Definition Of Maiden In Cricket?
1. An over in which no wides or no balls are bowled, and no runs are scored off the bat. Byes and leg byes scored during a maiden over are not counted against the bowler. One variation is a wicket maiden, during which no runs are scored and a wicket is taken. For a bowler, a maiden over is considered a good outcome, while the opposite is true for the batsman.
