Quite different from football, cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players. The game revolves around batting and bowling, where one team tries to score runs while the other aims to get them out. A match consists of "overs," each made up of six deliveries (balls). The batting team scores runs by hitting the ball and running between wickets, while the fielding team tries to limit runs and dismiss the batters. Despite its slower pace, the suspense behind each hit creates an atmosphere second to none. This blend of skill and excitement has made it one of the most popular sports in countries like India, Pakistan, Australia, and New Zealand, with 2.5 billion fans across the globe.
