# Cricket Odds API Guide: IPL Markets, Top Batter and Top Bowler

How cricket is modelled in the SGO grammar: innings periods, top batter and top bowler bet types, sixes, fours, wickets and method of dismissal.

Cricket is modelled in the SportsGameOdds grammar with a few bet types of its own. `points` is runs; innings are periods (`1i`) as are over ranges (`1ov`, `6ov_cum` for the first six overs); and there are cricket-specific bet types: `topbat` (top batter), `topbowl` (top bowler), `dismissal` (method of dismissal) and `most` (most sixes).
