About Cricket
The game of cricket is played between two teams using a bat and a ball. Each team consists of eleven players on the field. The batsman from the batting team has to be at each end of the pitch, while the bowler has to bowl six legal deliveries to complete an “over”.
The batsmen have to swap their ends by running to complete a run. On the other side, the fielders of the bowling team have to prevent the batsmen from scoring runs by dismissing them.
The ways of dismissals are bowled, catch run-out and hit-out. When the innings end or a team lose their all wickets, the bowling-first team has to bat and the batting-first team has to bowl.
