Cricket is a bat-and-ball team sport played primarily between two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field. The objective of the game is to score runs by hitting a ball bowled at a wicket with a bat and running between two sets of wickets at either end of a pitch. The game is characterized by its distinct innings structure, where teams take turns batting and fielding, and the performance is often measured in runs scored, wickets taken, and overs bowled. Cricket is governed by a set of rules known as the Laws of Cricket and is popular in many countries, especially in England, Australia, India, and the Caribbean. The format of the game can vary significantly, ranging from Test matches, which may last up to five days, to One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 (T20) matches, which are completed in a single day or a few hours, respectively. The sport has a rich history and culture, with various formats appealing to different audiences and fostering a global following.
