What is cricket match? The cricket match is played between two teams with eleven players in each team. One team does balling and fielding when two players of other team  does batting. The batsman scores runs by running between the wickets or by hitting the ball over or across the boundaries. The fielding side may dismiss the batman in several ways which is known as ”wicket”. The batsman may be out in these situations : first, by bowling at the wicket; second, by knocking over the wicket with the ball; third, by catching the ball and lastly, while bowling if the ball touches directly the batsman left leg.

Likewise the fielding or bowling team try to take ten wicket if possible otherwise they must complete the numbers of over. Although the cricket match seems to be slow, it is fast in action. The ball is fast and spinning; running is fast and batting is quick. Therefore it is such a game that also  helps a player to keep his body fit too.
