Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the center of which is a 22-yard (20-meter) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The batting side scores runs by striking the ball bowled at the wicket with the bat, while the fielding side tries to prevent this and dismiss each batter (so they are “out”).
The game is governed by the International Cricket Council (ICC), which has over 100 member countries. Cricket is the world’s second most popular sport by participation, after football (soccer).
