Answer 1

Explanation:

1st batsman(94*) - Hit six = 100* - 2 balls remaining

1st batsman(100*) - Hit high and give a catch but cross the 2nd player so that 2nd player will come on strick - 1ball remaining

2nd batsman(94*) - Hit six = 100*

Answer 2

Let us take the two batsmen to be Batsman A and Batsman B. As mentioned that it is the last wicket and both the batsmen need to complete their centuries. Also the team needs 7 runs in 3 balls.

• Batsman A hit the first ball out of the three remaining, both batsman A and batsman B run meanwhile the ball goes high and hit the helmet kept behind the wicketkeeper. As per the rules of cricket, the umpire will award 5 runs for it. Thus, 6 (5+1) runs get awarded to Batsman A and he completes his century.
• Now the team needs 1 run in 2 balls.
• Batsman B hits the second ball and it goes high in the sky and crosses the boundary. It goes for a six. Batsman B also completes his century.
• Team won.
