Curtis Campher scores 72 runs to win the game and score a record for Ireland.

"not out" = the batsmen continue to be at bat until being "out", which happens if the ball is caught in the air, the wicket is broken, or they are forced out while running.

Since he finished the game without that happening, he was "not out".

More like you can't comprehend basic language.

Lol the sentence only makes sense that d you interpret “not out” as a word/term as well as “run case”

This becomes natural if you dive into a hobby or niche, but makes no sense outside of it.

Also.. I did. manage to figure it out. And no, English is not my native tongue.
