Have you ever seen people playing cricket? Have you ever tried to play cricket? Well, I will tell you if you have not yet tried to play or watch it.
There are two teams. For example, India and New Zealand, and they play against each other. India won the coin toss and India chose to bat. The batting team will have two players out on the field and the rest are on the sideline. On the other hand, New Zealand will have 11 out of the 15 players on the field. The other four players have not been chosen by the team to play this match, so they sit out. They are backup for injuries and other purposes.
Now, the batting team’s objective is to get their score as high as they can. The bowling team will try to get them out and stop you from getting a high score. And after the first team has got their score, the other team gets their chance. The highest score wins the match.
Wickets are when you get a batter out. To increase your score, you can score 6s and 4s to get more than 1 point.
Now I have explained the game but you might be wondering how you get batsmen out, right? Well, there are three stumps behind the batter and after they hit the ball, you need to catch it. Another way to get a batter out is to try hitting the stumps.
Now that you know how to play, you can have a blast with your friends!
