Pitch: 20.12m (22 yards) between the two sets of stumps.

HOW TO PLAY
1

One team bats while the other bowls and fields; the bowler delivers the ball toward the batter's stumps.

2

The batter tries to hit the ball and score runs by running between the two ends of the pitch, or hitting boundaries for 4 or 6 runs.

3

A batter is out if bowled, caught, run out, or dismissed by other specific rules.

4

Once all batters are out or overs run out, teams switch roles.

5

The team with the higher total runs after both innings wins.
