This could be a double definition.

'cricket score' is the first definition.
'duck' can be an answer for 'score' (duck is a kind of score). I am unsure of the 'cricket' bit.

Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'round' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for duck that I've seen before include "Waterbird" , "poor score?" , "See 16" , "strong fabric" , "Bob" .)
