Cricket is a global sport with a rich history and three main formats: Test, One-Day, and T20.
Runs are scored by running between the wickets or hitting boundaries (4 or 6 runs).
A no-ball gives an extra run and a free hit. A wide ball adds an extra run and requires a rebowl.
The DLS method adjusts target scores in rain-affected matches.
Powerplay is a phase with fielding restrictions (first 10 overs in ODIs, first 6 overs in T20s).
Two teams of 11 players compete. The team with the most runs wins.
