Cricket is a bat-and-ball team sport played between two teams, typically consisting of 11 players each. It is played on a circular or oval-shaped field with a rectangular 22-yard long pitch at its center. The objective of the game is to score runs by hitting the ball bowled by the opposing team’s bowler and running between the wickets, while the fielding team aims to prevent runs and dismiss the batters.
The game involves three main components: batting, bowling, and fielding. The batting team sends two players onto the field to bat, while the bowling team attempts to get them out through various means, including catching the ball after it’s hit but before it touches the ground, hitting the wickets with the ball, or having the batter run out.
Cricket matches can vary in format, including Test matches, which can last up to five days, One Day Internationals (ODIs), which are limited to 50 overs per side, and Twenty20 matches, which are played with 20 overs per side. The sport has a rich tradition and is especially popular in countries such as India, Australia, England, and Pakistan. It is governed internationally by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
