Cricket

Cricket is a popular bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players each. The objective is to score more runs than the opposition. Players bat in pairs, aiming to hit the ball and run between two sets of wickets, while the opposing team tries to dismiss them. Matches can last from a few hours to several days, with formats including Tests, One Day Internationals (ODIs), and Twenty20 (T20) matches. Iconic tournaments like The Ashes and the ICC Cricket World Cup attract global attention, making cricket a sport deeply ingrained in the culture of many nations.
