Cricket Rules Decoded in 60 Seconds | Winnipeg News

Cricket’s global hype is real — it’s the second biggest sport on the planet, played on a circular field with a rectangular pitch, wickets, and bails. Teams of eleven face off, with only two batsmen on the pitch at a time. Bowlers hurl the ball for six deliveries (an over), and runs come from running between wickets or hitting the ball to the boundary. Batsmen can be out via bowl, catch, run out, LBW, or stumping — five ways to fall. Each team gets one inning, ending when ten are out or overs are up. Three formats rule: five-day Tests, 50-over ODIs, and 20-over T20s — fast, furious, and packed with strategy. The team with most runs wins — and it’s why cricket’s obsession spans continents.
