Cricket is a game played between two teams of 11 players each with bat and ball. The game of cricket is played on a rectangular field with 22 yard long pitch. Both the teams are given chances to bat player by player, while the other team fields. Every batsman is allowed to bat, until he is out and when the whole team is out or the decided ‘overs’ are completed, it is declared as the end of the first inning.
The other team bats the next, which is entitled as second innings. The team that made the maximum runs or prevented the maximum players from getting out wins. If the batsman hits the ball and the bowl crosses the boundary by touching the ground, it is consider as 4 runs. However, if similar thing happens with just the ball crossing the field through air, it is considered as 6 runs. A total of 100 runs made by a player are given as a century.
