Two innings

In cricket, an innings refers to a period during which one team takes turns to bat and attempt to score runs, while the opposing team bowls and fields. Each team has one or two innings depending on the format, such as Test matches or limited-overs games. When a team completes its batting turn, the other team begins theirs. In a two-innings game, each team has the chance to bat twice, and the overall success depends on the total runs scored across all innings. This structure allows for a balanced contest and strategic gameplay over an extended period.
