 Rules of cricket
Cricket is played by two teams of 11, with one side taking a turn to bat a
ball and score runs, while the other team will bowl and field the ball to
restrict the opposition from scoring. The main objective in cricket is to
score as many runs as possible against the opponent. Before the match
begins, the captain of both teams will toss a coin, with the winner of the
toss being able to decide which team bats and fields first.
Each cricket match consists of periods known as innings, and the
number of innings that each team has will be determined before the
match, usually one or two. During an inning, one team bats the ball
while the other attempts to field. Both teams take turns alternating
between batting and fielding.

The match takes place on an oval cricket field, which consists of a

rectangular pitch in the center. A boundary marks the perimeter of the
field, and can take the form of a fence, ropes or lines. Additionally, a
wooden target known as the wicket is placed on both ends of the
rectangular pitch, approximately 20 meters apart. The wicket is made
out of three stumps, supporting two bails that sit on the stumps.
