Solution

  • You have double loop. First have 4 elements, second 4 element. So you iterate 4 times by second loop and get 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16. Your code execute the way it should.

    if you want to get list of result you can for example do it like this:

    x = [x for x in br.xpath('//*[@class = "innings-info-1"]')]
y = [y for y in br.xpath('//*[@class = "innings-info-2"]')]
print(list(zip(x,y))
