Explanation

In cricket, an innings ends when 10 wickets fall. If every batsman is dismissed first ball, after 10 dismissals (each on first ball), only one batsman remains. Since batsmen 1-10 would all be out, batsman 11 comes in but the innings is over after the 10th wicket falls. The 8th batsman would be the one to face the last ball when 9 wickets are already down, and would remain 'not out' when the 10th wicket falls.
