cricket matches

Cricket is a sport played between two teams of eleven players each. The game involves one team batting to score runs by hitting a ball with a bat and running between wickets, while the other team bowls and fields to dismiss batsmen and limit runs. An innings is a period when one team bats and the other bowls, with the teams switching roles. Matches can last from a few hours to several days, depending on the format. The team with the most runs at the end wins, and matches can end in a tie or draw. The game combines strategy, skill, and teamwork.
