There are two types of cricket matches played at an international level, tests and one day matches.
This was a one day score. I don't know how baseball pitching is decided but in cricket, the bowler (pitcher) gets six deliveries (pitches) before changing over to a new bowler. These six deliveries are called an "over". Each batting side faces 50 overs in a one day match.

Each side in cricket only gets one innings. The innings is over when all the batsmen are out; additionally in one day matches the innings is over when the side has faced their 50 overs, regardless of whether all their batsmen are out.

Those scores are represented in an old fashioned way, backwards in Australia.
We would write it
9/203(50) to 10/153(41.2)
The smaller number indicates the batsmen out; the larger indicates runs scored. The bracketed number is the amount of overs faced.
So Australia got 203 runs in their innings, and obviously since they faced all 50 overs they didn't lose all ten batsmen (called "wickets"). They only lost 9. It is possible to lose your last wicket on the last delivery of the 50th over but obviously that's rare.
India were all out after 41 overs and 2 bowls, falling short by 50 runs. A bit of a hiding.

That was incredibly fascinating, was it not.
