Answer:
Let’s play! A Glimpse of the Game
Two batsmen from the batting-side and 11 players from the fielding-side take positions. Two umpires also join them on the field. One stands at the pitch and the other on leg-side.
Suppose A and B are two teams playing a limited over cricket match. Captain of A wins the toss and elects to bat first.
The game starts with bowler from B team bowling to the first batsman of A team. They are usually called opening-bowler and opening-batsman. The first two batsmen are called openers as they start the innings of their team.
The batsmen hits the balls bowled at them and score runs. Fielders attempt to stop the balls that were hit and even catch them to get the batsmen out.
Each bowler bowls 6 legal deliveries to call it an over.
The bowling and batting ends change after every over. The non-striker at the end of every over becomes the striker of the next over.
The wicket-keeper has to change ends after completion of each over. In general, the keeper stands far from stumps when a fast bowler is bowling and closer to stumps when a spinner is in action.
Once a batsman is out, he has to walk out of the field and a new batsman comes to the crease. An innings is regarded as complete if all the batsmen of team A are out or team B has bowled their full quota of overs.
Now, team B comes on to bat in the second innings to chase the target set by team A.
Team B is accorded as winners if they achieve the target else, A is victorious.
If the scores are level at the end of match, then it is called a tie.
Scoring
Manual and electronic scoring is done during the match to avoid any errors.
The scoring is done on cumulative basis. All the runs scored with bat, extra runs like no-ball, wide, etc. are added to team’s total.
In some instances, on-field umpires find it tough to give few decisions like boundaries, out, no-ball, etc. Therefore, they seek help of another umpire, called third-umpire.
The third-umpire looks at video visuals and gives a final decision.
