I've done something like this and it's not too bad with the Poisson distribution.

You can pick a time interval and the average amount of times an event (scoring a point, for example) that occur in that interval and get a realistic random simulation.

The time period could be a whole game or every 30 seconds during a game.

Unless there's something about cricket I don't know that makes it a bad match for this
