What is cricket and how it is played between two teams?

This article contains information about crickets and how it is played between two teams.

Cricket is also a sports game which is played between two teams and each team has eleven players to play this game on a large rounded field. In the centre of the field, there is a rectangular pitch where batting and ball action happen after being decorated fielding. There are enough people sitting around the stadium to watch the match. There is typically a baseball and a bat in this game to be played between two teams. And in this game, one team bats and another do field on the rounded field.

Two players bat at the same time in the batting team. This is how every player of batting keeps batting until 11 out of 10 players get out of the pitch. Another team will keep fielding unless all batting gets out of the pitch. If a player throws six balls in front of batsmen and then his balls finish as an 'over '. Over is made up of 6 balls. After a player throws 6 balls, the ball player is changed to throw another over.

There are normally five bowlers and six batsmen in a team. The batting team is supposed to score as many runs as possible by hitting the ball according to their ability. They can score by running to the end of the pitch as well. If a player of batting reaches successfully by running to the end of the pitch, he scores one run and he comes back immediately by preventing himself from running out, then he scores two runs. That's how he can score three runs by running to the end of the pitch. In this game, He is not allowed to score four runs by running from one point to another point.

During the overthrowing, the score is made more than thee runs by running from one point to another point. For instance, the fielder throws the ball and it is not caught by other fielders, then batsmen make more by running.  If the batsman hits the ball and the ball goes to the edge of the field, he scores four runs. If he hits the ball which goes out of bounds, he scores six runs.


Similarly, he goes on batting until and unless he gets out. If he gets out somehow, another player comes to play immediately. There are certainly many sorts of bowlers in the game. Some of the bowl very fast while throwing the ball in front of batsmen. And some do very slow like spin, spinner bowlers do well and this ball goes slower than a fast bowler. There are many rules and regulations in the game but I try my best to explain this game. There are certain rules to be followed by both teams while playing cricket.

Bowled means what ; 

If a bowler bowls and the ball hits the wicket, he gets out.

Caught means what;

If a batsman hits the ball and the ball is in the air and then fielder catches it, he finally gets out.

LBW stands for:

If the bowler throws the ball and the ball hits the right leg of batsman while batting, he gets out through 'lBW'.

Run out!

The batsmen try to make runs by running from one point to another point, but the fielders throw the ball right away and the ball somehow hits the stumps before batsmen reach any place, then he gets out.

Hit wicket;

If the batsman hits his stumps with his body while playing, he gets out.
