Cricket - A Famous Sports In South Asia

Cricket is played with two teams of 11 players each. Each team takes turns batting and playing the field, as in baseball. In cricket, the batter is a batsman and the pitcher is a bowler. The bowler tries to knock down the bail of the wicket. A batsman tries to prevent the bowler from hitting the wicket by hitting the ball. Two batsmen are on the pitch at the same time.

SCORING

The batters can run after the ball is hit. A run is scored each time they change places on the pitch. The team with the highest number of runs (typically in the hundreds) wins the match.

OUTS (DISMISSALS)

THE FIELD Circular, natural or artificial turf

Sizes vary from ground to ground. There are 11 players per team positioned around the oval.

THE BALL

THE BAT

THE GAME IS OVER WHEN

Sides take turns batting and fielding. Each at-bat, called an "over," comprises no more than six bowls per batsman. The fielding team must retire or dismiss 10 batsmen to end the innings (always plural). World Cup matches are limited to one inning per team and a limit of 50 overs per inning. Non-elimination games are limited to a single day. Elimination games are allowed a second day if needed.
