Cricket overview

 Cricket is a popular sport that originated in England in the 16th century and has since spread throughout the world, particularly in countries such as India, Pakistan, Australia, South Africa, and the West Indies. It is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players each, with each team taking turns to bat and bowl.



The objective of the game is to score more runs than the opposing team. The team that is batting sends two players out to the field at a time, and they try to hit the ball thrown by the bowler and score runs by running back and forth between the wickets. The team that is bowling tries to get the batsmen out by hitting the wickets with the ball or catching the ball after it has been hit.


Cricket matches can last anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on the format of the game. There are several different formats of cricket, including Test cricket, One Day Internationals, and Twenty20 cricket, each with their own rules and regulations.


Cricket is a hugely popular sport in many countries and is watched by millions of fans around the world. It is known for its complex rules and strategic gameplay, as well as its unique traditions and culture.
