How to play Cricket?
Cricket is a game played by two teams of eleven players each on a pitch with two sets of three stumps, which are called wickets. The bowler bowls the ball down the pitch to the batsman of the opposing team, who must defend the wickets in front of which he stands. The target of the game is to score as many runs as possible.
A match consists of one or two innings, and each inning ends when the tenth batsman of the batting team is out, when a certain number of overs have been played or when the captain of the batting team declares ending the innings voluntarily.
There are three forms of cricket – Test matches, one-day internationals, and T20 internationals.
Test match- minimum of 90 overs have to be bowled in a day or a minimum of 15 overs per hour except on the last day and a minimum of 75 overs on the last day for the playing time have to be bowled.
One-day- is a form of limited overs cricket mostly 50 overs per innings.
T20 is a shortened game format of cricket. The two teams have a single innings each, which is restricted to a maximum of 20 overs.
