Cricket is a popular bat-and-ball sport played by two teams of eleven players, originating in England but now enjoyed globally. The game involves a batting team scoring runs by hitting a ball bowled by the opposing team, who try to get the batsmen "out" by taking wickets, while also fielding to limit runs. The team with the highest score wins, with various formats like Test matches, one-day internationals, and T20s played in different conditions.
