 How the cricket game is played

Cricket is a bat and ball game played between two teams of eleven players on
a cricket field. At the center of which is a rectangular 22-yard-long pitch with
a wicket set of three wooden stumps at each end. One team bats to score as
many runs as possible while their opponents field. Each phase is called an
innings. After ten batsmen have been dismissed or the overs has been
completed when the innings end. The two teams then switch roles the team
fielding goes to bat and the team bating goes to field. And the opponent goes
into bat to score more runs than the other. Runs are scored by hitting the ball
hard enough for it to cross the boundary, or by the two batsmen swapping
ends by running the length of the pitch in opposite directions while the
fielders are getting the ball.
 How a bats man can get out

A dismissed batsman must leave the field, and a teammate replaces him. The
bowler's objectives are to prevent the scoring of runs and to dismiss the
batsman.
The most common forms of dismissal are:
Bowled: When the bowler hits the stumps directly with the ball.
Leg before Wicket: When the batsman prevents the ball from hitting the
stumps with his body instead of his bat.
Caught: When the batsman hits the ball into the air and it is caught by a
fielder before touching the ground.
Run Out: When a fielder gets the ball fast enough to put down the wicket
with a batsman not having reached the crease at that end of the pitch.
