Cricket
Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams, each consisting of eleven players. It is played on a circular or oval-shaped field, at the center of which is a rectangular 22-yard-long pitch. 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, or by hitting the ball over the boundary for four runs (if it touches the ground before the boundary) or six runs (if it crosses the boundary in the air).
The team that bats attempts to accumulate runs, while the team that bowls and fields aims to dismiss the batsmen through various means, such as catching the ball after it is hit, hitting the wickets with the ball, or running out a batsman. Cricket matches can vary in format, with the major types being Test matches, One Day Internationals (ODIs), and Twenty20 (T20) games, each having different rules regarding the number of overs and the length of play.
Cricket is governed internationally by the International Cricket Council (ICC), and it has a rich history and is particularly popular in countries such as England, India, Australia, and Pakistan. The game combines elements of strategy, skill, and athleticism.
