Batter dismissed by: bowled, caught, LBW, run out, stumped, hit wicket, obstructing field, timed out, retired; Free hit ball: batter cannot be dismissed except run out
Why people argue about this
People often think that batting only once means they can't score more than 20 runs per side in a game, but actually, each team bats twice over two innings of 5 overs each, ensuring they get to bat twice and potentially score much higher. The confusion arises because the rule limits how many times you bat, not how many runs are scored.
